Color display apparatus having electroluminescence elements

A color display apparatus comprising:

• a substrate;
• thin film transistors formed on said substrate, each of said thin film transistors having a source electrode and a drain electrode;
• electroluminescence elements respectively formed over said thin film transistors, each of said electroluminescence elements having a lower electrode connected to one of said source electrode or said drain electrode of said thin film transistor, a luminous element layer including at least a luminous layer, and a light passing upper electrode, sequentially formed in that order;
• and
• color elements respectively arranged on the side of said anodes of said electroluminescence elements,
• wherein each of said upper electrodes of said electroluminescence elements is shaped in a comb, mesh, or grid pattern through which light can pass.
