An organic EL display device includes: thin film transistors that are arranged in respective pixels within a display area which are arranged in a matrix; a planarization film that is formed over the thin film transistor and made of an organic insulating material; contact electrodes that are connected to drains or sources of the respective thin film transistors through contact holes formed within the planarization film; contact hole planarization films that are arranged over the respective contact electrodes with which the contact holes are embedded, and made of an organic insulating material; a lower electrode that is formed to be electrically connected onto the contact electrodes, and formed over the contact hole planarization film; and an organic layer that is arranged over the lower electrode to cover the overall display area, and formed of a plurality of organic material layers including a light emitting layer.
