An EL display device of the present invention includes a plurality of pixel electrodes, wiring, a common electrode, a plurality of light-emitting layer portions, and a protective layer. The pixel electrodes are formed in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of pixels. The wiring is formed in at least one of a plurality of intervals between the pixels. The common electrode is formed above each of the pixel electrodes and is in electrical connection with the wiring. The common electrode is made of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal. The light-emitting layer portions are each located between a corresponding one of the pixel electrodes and the common electrode. The protective layer is located on the common electrode, preventing oxidization thereof. The EL display device suppresses voltage drop in the common electrode, while also suppressing reduction in a property of electron injection to the light-emitting layer portions.
