1. An electroluminescence (EL) display device, comprising:
a substrate;
a first electrode formed above the substrate;
a second electrode formed above the first electrode and facing the first electrode;
a first intermediate layer including a luminescence layer and disposed between the first and second electrodes, the luminescence layer emitting light of a single color throughout sub-pixel regions;
a color converting layer disposed on top of the second electrode; and
a diffraction grating disposed between the second electrode and the color converting layer,
wherein the color converting layer converts light of the single color emitted from the luminescence layer and passing through the diffraction grating into various colors.
