     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0003]    The present invention relates to an organic electro luminescence display device, and more particularly, to a structure of positive and negative shorting bars of a mother glass and a method of fabricating an organic electro luminescence display device using the same. 
         [0004]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0005]    Recently, there have been developed various flat panel display devices reduced in weight and bulk that is capable of eliminating disadvantages of a cathode ray tube (CRT). Such flat panel display devices include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a field emission display (FED), a plasma display panel (PDP) and an electro-luminescence (EL) display, etc. Also, there have been actively processed studies for attempting to make a high display quality and a large-dimension screen of the flat panel display device. 
         [0006]    In such flat panel display devices, the PDP has drawbacks in that it has been highlighted as the most advantageous display device to make a light weight, a small size and a large dimension screen because its structure and manufacturing process are simple, but it has low light-emission efficiency and large power consumption. On the other hand, the active matrix LCD employing a thin film transistor (TFT) as a switching device has drawbacks in that it is difficult to make a large dimension screen because a semiconductor process is used, and in that it has large power consumption due to a backlight unit and has a large light loss and a narrow viewing angle due to optical devices such as a polarizing filter, a prism sheet, a diffuser and the like. 
         [0007]    Meanwhile, the EL device is largely classified into an inorganic electro-luminescence device and an organic electro-luminescence device depending upon a material of a light-emitting layer, and is a self-luminous device. When compared with the above-mentioned display devices, the EL device has advantages of a fast response speed, large light-emission efficiency, a large brightness and a large viewing angle. The inorganic electro-luminescence device has a larger power consumption than the organic electro-luminescence device, cannot obtain a higher brightness than the organic electro-luminescence device, cannot emit various colors of red(R), green(G) and blue(B). On the other hand, the organic electro-luminescence device is driven with a low direct current voltage of tens of volts, and has a fast response speed. Also, the organic electro-luminescence device can obtain a high brightness, and can emit various colors of red(R), green(G) and blue(B). Thus, the organic electro-luminescence device is suitable for a post-generation flat panel display device. 
         [0008]      FIG. 1  is a sectional view illustrating an organic EL cell of a related art organic EL display device, and  FIG. 2  is a diagram for explaining a light-emitting principle of the organic EL display device. 
         [0009]    Referring to  FIG. 1 , an EL cell  3  includes: an organic light-emitting layer  10  provided between a first electrode (or an anode electrode)  4  and a second electrode (or a cathode electrode)  12 . The organic light-emitting layer  10  includes an electron injection layer  10   a , an electron carrier layer  10   b , a light-emitting layer  10   c , a hole carrier layer  10   d  and a hole injection layer  10   e.    
         [0010]    If a voltage is applied between the first electrode  4  and the second electrode  12 , then electrons produced from the second electrode  12  are moved, via the electron injection layer  10   a  and the electron carrier layer  10   b , into the light-emitting layer  10   c . Further, holes produced from the first electrode  4  are moved, via the hole injection layer  10   e  and the hole carrier layer  10   d , into the light-emitting layer  10   c . Thus, electrons and holes fed from the electron carrier layer  10   b  and the hole carrier layer  10   d , respectively, are collided with each other at the light-emitting layer to be recombined to generate a light. This light is emitted, via the first electrode  4 , into the exterior to thereby display a picture. 
         [0011]      FIG. 3  is a view showing an array area P 1  and a non-array area P 2  in the related art mother glass. 
         [0012]    Referring to  FIG. 3 , an organic EL array including a plurality of EL cells is formed in the array area P 1 . The array area P 1  includes a display area A where a picture is displayed upon an organic light emission and a non-display area B where data lines  54  and scan lines  55  area located, wherein the data lines  54  and the scan lines are extended from the organic EL array of the display area A. In the non-array area P 2 , a positive and negative shoring bar  53  used to an aging process and a lighting inspection, which are a stabilization process, and an aligning mark (not shown) used to a scribing process are formed. 
         [0013]    The positive and negative shorting bar  53  is electrically connected to each of a data pad  56 , connected to the data lines  54  of the non-display area B, and a scan pad  57 , connected to the scan lines  55  of the non-display area B. Such a positive and negative shorting bar  53  is connected to a needle pin of inspecting equipment upon the aging process and the lighting inspection, to thereby transmit a voltage to the data pad  56  and the scan pad  57 . 
         [0014]    The non-array area P 2  having the aligning mark (not shown) and the positive and negative shorting bar  53  is removed during the scribing process. 
         [0015]    Such a positive and negative shorting bar  53  has a line width d 1  more than about 2000 μm order to contact with a needle pin of inspecting equipment, therefore, it becomes a fact to enlarge the non-array area P 2  of the mother glass. 
         [0016]    For instance, in a case that the organic EL array of ten lines is formed on the mother glass, the positive and negative shorting bar  53  occupy about 20 mm in the entire mother glass. If the area where the shorting bar occupies is large, then a rate of which the array area P 1  of the mother glass occupies becomes smaller as mush as the area where the shorting bar occupies. Thus, a productivity of the organic EL display device becomes deteriorated. 
         [0017]    In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, as shown in  FIG. 4 , a structure in which the positive and negative shorting bar  53  is reduced had been suggested. 
         [0018]    The mother glass shown in  FIG. 4  has an advantage capable of improving productivity. However, if a line width d 2  of the positive and negative shorting bar  53  at the non-array area P 1  is reduced, then a space, contacting with the needle pin of the inspecting equipment upon the aging process and the lighting inspection, becomes reduced to cause a case that the needle pin is contacted with the data pad  56  and the scan pad  57  of the array area P 1 , with not the positive and negative shorting bar  53 . 
         [0019]    Accordingly, a scratch is generated on the data pad  56  and the scan pad  57  due to the needle pin, so that the EL cell directly connected to the data pad  56  or the scan pad  57 , in which the scratch is generated, and an EL cell connected to the data pad  56  or the scan pad  57 , in which the scratch is not generated, have a brightness difference from each other. 
         [0020]    In addition, each shorting bar  53  formed to be corresponded to each organic EL array is contacted with the needle pin, so that new inspecting equipment is needed to manufacture whenever an organic EL display device having another size is suggested. Accordingly, there is a problem that a fabricating cost of an organic EL display device becomes increased.

         [0060]      FIG. 5  is a schematic view showing an organic EL array of an organic EL display device according to the present invention. 
         [0061]    Referring to  FIG. 5 , the organic EL array of the organic EL display device has an anode electrode  4  and a cathode electrode  12  provided on a substrate  2  in a direction crossing each other. 
         [0062]    A plurality of anode electrodes  4  are provided on the substrate  2  in such a manner to be spaced at a desired distance from each other. An insulating film (not shown) having an aperture for each EL cell (E) area is formed on the substrate  2  provided with the anode electrode  4 .

         [0064]    Referring to  FIGS. 6 and 7 , the mother glass is largely divided into an array area P 1  where the organic EL array is located and a non-array area P 2 . The array area P 1  includes a plurality of EL cells. The array area P 1  includes a display area A where the organic EL array is formed to display a picture upon an organic light emission and a non-display area B where data lines  54  and scan lines  55 , which extended from the organic EL array of the display area A, are located. The non-array area P 2  includes a positive shorting bar  61  and negative shorting bars  62   a  and  62   b , which are used to an aging process, this is, a stabilization process, and a lighting inspection for searching a defect, located at an upper edge area. 
         [0065]    The non-array area P 2  includes: a first line  63  for supplying a positive voltage from the positive shorting bar  61  to a data pad  56  of each organic EL array; and a first common line  65  for connecting the first line  63  to the data pad  56 . 
         [0066]    The non-array area P 2  further includes: second lines  64   a  and  64   b  for supplying a negative voltage from the negative shorting bars  62   a  and  62   b  to the scan pad  57  of each organic EL array; and second common lines  66   a  and  66   b  for connecting the second lines  64   a  and  64   b  to the scan pad  57 . 
         [0067]    The positive shorting bar  61  located at the upper edge area of the non-array area P 2  and the first common line  65  are connected each other through the first line  63 . If a positive voltage from a needle pin of inspecting equipment upon an aging process and a lighting inspection is applied to the positive shorting bar  61 , then the positive voltage is applied via the first line  63  to the first common line  65  connected to the data pad  56  of each array area P 1 . 
         [0068]    If a negative voltage is applied to the negative shorting bar  62   a  upon an aging process and a lighting inspection, then the second line  64   a , connecting the negative shoring bar  62   a  located at a left upper edge area of the mother glass to the second common line  66   a , supplies the negative voltage to the second common line  66   a  connected to the scan pad  57   a  located at the left side of each array area P 1 . 
         [0069]    Further, if a negative voltage is applied to the negative shorting bar  62   a  upon an aging process and a lighting inspection, then the second line  64   b , connecting the negative shoring bar  62   b  located at a right upper edge area of the mother glass to the second common line  66   b , supplies the negative voltage to the second common line  66   b  connected to the scan pad  57   b  located at the right side of each array area P 1 . 
         [0070]    The first line  63  and the second lines  64   a  and  64 B are formed to have a line width of 40 μm to 60 μm, and the first common line  65  and the second common lines  66   a  and  66   b  are formed to have a line width of 90 μm to 100 μm. 
         [0071]    Accordingly, the present invention case can reduce the non-array area of the mother glass as compared to the related art case including the positive and negative shorting bar  53  for each organic EL device. Thus, a space capable of designing the organic EL array in the mother glass is enlarged, so that cost becomes reduced and productivity becomes improved. 
         [0072]    In the related art, new inspecting equipment is needed to manufacture whenever an organic EL device having another size is suggested. However, in the present invention, when the positive shorting bar  61  and the negative shorting bars  62   a  and  62   b  are located at the upper edge area of the mother glass, the positive shorting bar  61  and the negative shorting bars  62   a  and  62   b  are maintained as they are located at the edge area of the mother glass and only first line  63 , second lines  64   a  and  64   b , first common line  65 , and second common lines  66   a  and  66   b  are changed with respect to a size of the organic EL array even through a model of the organic EL array is differentiated. Accordingly, an aging process and a lighting inspection can be performed. Thus, it is possible to reduce a manufacturing cost. 
         [0073]      FIG. 8  is a view illustrating a mother glass having a plurality of organic EL arrays according to a second embodiment. 
         [0074]      FIG. 8  is a view showing a positive shorting bar  61  and negative shorting bars  62   a  and  62   b  formed at upper and lower edge area of the mother glass differently from the positive shorting bar  61  and the negative shorting bars  62   a  and  62   b  located at the upper edge area of the mother glass of  FIG. 6 . 
         [0075]    An entire data pad  56  of a plurality of organic EL arrays is connected to positive shorting bars  61   a  and  61   b , which are located at the upper and lower edge area, through first lines  63   a  and  63   b  and first common lines  65   a  and  65   b . If a positive voltage from a needle pin of inspecting equipment upon an aging process and a lighting inspection is applied to the positive shorting bars  61   a  and  61   b , then the positive voltage is applied to the entire data pad  56  of the plurality of organic EL arrays through the first lines  63   a  and  63   b  and the first common lines  65   a  and  65   b.

         [0078]    Further, second lines  64   ba  and  64   ab  extended from a negative shorting bar  62   ba  located at the upper right edge area and a negative shorting bar  62   ab  located at the lower left edge area, and second common lines  66   ba  and  66   ab  are connected to a scan pad  57   b  located at a right side of the organic EL array. 
         [0079]    The negative shorting bars  62   aa  and  62   ba  located at the upper edge area apply sequentially a negative voltage from the scan pad  57  of upper first organic EL array to the scan pad  57  of a (n/2)th organic EL array, and the negative shorting bars  62   ab  and  62   bb  located at the lower edge area apply sequentially the negative voltage from the scan pad  57  of a nth organic EL array to the scan pad  57  of the (n/2)th organic EL array. 
         [0080]    When the negative shorting bars  62   aa ,  62   ab ,  62   ba  and  62   bb  are located at the upper and the lower parts to perform an aging process and a lighting inspection, a voltage drop of a scan line is prevented to secure a stabilization of the aging process and the lighting inspection. 
         [0081]    As shown in a D area of  FIG. 6 , the first line  63  and the second line  64  are formed to be crossed each other.

         [0084]    As shown in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , the first line  63  is formed to be partially disconnected at the area crossing the second line  64 , and a dummy insulating film  26  is formed between the first line  63  and the second line  64  on the dummy insulating film  26 , a first metal pattern  22  for electrically connecting the disconnected first line is formed. 
         [0085]    Accordingly, the first line  63  and the second line  64  are electrically separated from each other. 
         [0086]      FIGS. 11A to 11E  are sectional views illustrating sequentially a method of fabricating the organic EL display device according to the present invention. 
         [0087]    Referring to  FIGS. 11A to 11E , the description on the method of fabricating the organic EL display device is as follows. 
         [0088]      FIGS. 11A to 11E  are sectional views illustrating the organic EL display device taken along the line I-I′ of the D area in  FIG. 6  and the line II-II′ in  FIG. 5 . 
         [0089]    A transparent conductive metal material is deposited on a substrate  2  having an array area and a non-array area and is patterned by a photolithograph process and an etching process to thereby form an anode electrode  4  of the organic EL array (the line II-II′) as shown in  FIG. 11A  and a data line and a scan line (not shown). 
         [0090]    On the scan line of the substrate having the anode electrode  4 , the data line and the scan line, a conductive metal layer is deposited and is patterned by a photolithography process and an etching process to thereby form a first line  63  and a second line  64  of the non-array area (the line I-I′) as shown in  FIG. 11B  and a first common line and a second line (not shown). At this moment, a positive and negative shorting bar (not shown) is formed together at an upper edge area of the mother glass. 
         [0091]    On the substrate  2  having an anode electrode  4 , the data line and the scan line of an organic EL cell (the line II-II′) and the first line  63  and the second line  64  of the non-array area (the line I-I′), a photosensitive insulation material is coated by a spin coating method and is patterned by a photolithography process to thereby an insulating film  6  and a dummy insulating film  26  as shown in  FIG. 11C . Herein, the insulating film  6  is formed to expose a light-emitting area of the organic EL array (the line II-II′), and the dummy insulating film  26  is formed of the same material as the insulating film  6  of the organic EL array (the line II-II′) at a cross of both the first line  63  and the second line  64  in the non-array area (the line I-I′). 
         [0092]    On the insulating film  6  of the organic EL cell (the line II-II), a photosensitive organic material is deposited and is patterned by a photolithography process to thereby form a barrier rib  8  as shown in  FIG. 11D . 
         [0093]    On the substrate  2  having the barrier rib  8 , an organic light-emitting layer  10  is formed. 
         [0094]    On an organic EL array of the substrate  2  having the organic light-emitting layer  10 , a conductive material such as aluminum is deposited and is patterned by a photolithography process to thereby form a cathode electrode  12  of the organic EL array (the line II-II′) and a first metal pattern  22 . Herein, the metal pattern  22  is formed of the same material as the cathode electrode  12  of the organic EL array (the line II-II′) and is for connecting the first line  63  of the non-array area (the line I-I′). Accordingly, the first line  63 , not connected in the non-array area (the line I-I′) is electrically connected. 
         [0095]    As described above, the plurality organic EL arrays are formed on the mother glass, and the positive and the negative shorting bars and the plurality of lines for an aging inspection and a lighting inspection are formed. Thereafter, the needle pin of inspecting equipment is contacted with the positive and negative shorting bars to perform the aging inspection and the lighting inspection. The mother glass decided as a normal driving by the inspection process is divided into a plurality of organic EL display devices by a scribing process after performing an encapsulation process. Accordingly, the plurality of organic EL display devices is formed. 
         [0096]    Meanwhile, the lines and the shorting bars of the non-array area of the mother glass are removed upon a scribing process. 
         [0097]    In the mother glass and the method of fabricating the organic EL display device using the same, more than at least one shorting bar is formed at the edge area of the mother glass and the lines for connecting the each organic EL array to the shorting bars formed at the edge area of the mother glass are formed. Accordingly, the present invention relatively raises the array area of the mother glass as compared to that of the related art. Thus, it is possible to improve a productivity of the organic EL display device. 
         [0098]    Further, the needle pin of inspecting equipment is connected to the shorting bars formed at the edge area of the mother glass, so that it is not required to designing a separate inspecting equipment for an inspecting process of the organic EL display device having another size in the mother glass is enlarged, so that cost becomes reduced. 
         [0099]    In addition, it is possible to prevent a scratch cause on the pad by the needle pin of the inspecting equipment and to prevent a brightness difference upon a device lighting emission as compared to the related art. 
         [0100]      FIG. 12  is a view showing a mother glass having a plurality of organic EL arrays according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and  FIG. 13  is a enlarged view showing an E area of the mother glass in  FIG. 12 . 
         [0101]    Referring to  FIGS. 12 and 13 , the mother glass is largely divided into an array area P 1  where the organic EL array is located and a non-array area P 2 . The array area P 1  includes a display area A where the organic EL array is formed to display a picture upon an organic light emission and a non-display area B where data lines  54  and scan lines  55 , which extended from the organic EL array of the display area A, are located. 
         [0102]    In the non-array area P 2 , a row direction non-array area RNA 1  to RNAn, arranged between the organic EL arrays forming row and column of adjacent row, and a column direction non-array area CNA 1  to CNAn, arranged between the organic EL arrays of adjacent column, are located. Further, in the non-array area P 2 , the positive shorting bar  61  and the negative shorting bar  62  used to an aging process, that is, a stabilization process of the organic EL display device, and a lighting inspection searching a defect are formed at a left column direction non-array area CNA 1  of the far left column arranged at a left side of organic EL arrays as many as the number of rows in the organic EL arrays. 
         [0103]    In the non-array area P 2 , the positive shorting bar  61  of each row is arranged at the left column direction non-array area CNA 1  of the mother glass as many as the number of rows in the organic EL arrays. Further, a first line  63 , supplying a positive voltage from the positive shorting bar  61  to a data pad  56  corresponding to the organic EL arrays, is formed along the row direction non-array area RNA 1  to RNAn located at the upper part of each row of the organic EL arrays. And, a first common line  65 , connecting the first line  63  to the data pad  56  of the organic EL arrays of a corresponding row, is formed. 
         [0104]    In the non-array area P 2 , the negative shorting bar  62  of each row is arranged at the left column direction non-array area CNA 1  of the mother glass as many as the number of rows in the organic EL arrays. Further, a second line  64 , supplying a negative voltage from the negative shorting bar  62  to a scan pad  57  corresponding to the organic EL arrays, is formed along the row direction non-array area RNA 1  to RNAn located at the lower part of each row of the organic EL arrays. The second line  64  is extended from the row direction non-array area RNA 1  to RNAn to be formed along the row direction array area CNA 1  to CNAn. And, a second common line  66 , connecting the second line  64  to the scan pad  57  of the organic EL arrays. In this case, a second line  64   a  formed along the column direction non-array area CNA 1  to CNAn located at a left side of a corresponding organic EL array applies a negative voltage to the scan pad  57   a  located at a left side of the organic EL arrays of the corresponding row. And, a second line  64   b  formed along the column direction non-array area CNA 1  to CNAn located at a right side of a corresponding organic EL array applies a negative voltage to the scan pad  57   b  located at a right side of the organic EL arrays of the corresponding row. 
         [0105]    When a positive voltage is applied from a needle pin of inspecting equipment upon an aging process and a lighting inspection to the positive shorting bar  61 , the first line  63  applies the positive voltage to the first common line  65  connected to the data pad  56  of the organic EL arrays of a corresponding row. 
         [0106]    Further, When a negative voltage is applied from a needle pin of inspecting equipment upon an aging process and a lighting inspection to the negative shorting bar  62 , the second line  64  applies the negative voltage to the second common line  66  connected to the scan pad  57  of the organic EL arrays of a corresponding row. 
         [0107]    The first line  63  and the second line  64  are formed to have a line width of 40 μm to 60 μm, and the first common line  65  and the second common line  66  are formed to have a line width of 90 μm to 100 μm. 
         [0108]    Accordingly, the present invention case can reduce the non-array area P 2  of the mother glass as compared to the related art case including the positive and negative shorting bar  53  having the line width of more than 2000 μm for each organic EL device. Thus, a space capable of designing the organic EL array in the mother glass is enlarged, so that cost becomes reduced and productivity becomes improved. 
         [0109]      FIG. 14  is a view showing a mother glass having a plurality of organic EL arrays according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. 
         [0110]      FIG. 14  is a view showing a positive shorting bar  61  and a negative shorting bar  62  located at a left column direction non-array area CNA 1  and a right column direction non-array area CNAn of the mother glass. 
         [0111]    A data pad  56  of entire organic EL arrays of each row is connected to positive shorting bars  61   a  and  61   b  located at the left column direction non-array area CNA 1  and the right column direction non-array area CNAn of a corresponding row via the first line  63  and the first common line  65 . If a positive voltage from a needle pin of inspecting equipment upon an aging process and a lighting inspection is applied to the positive shorting bars  61   a  and  61   b  of each row, then the positive voltage is applied to the data pad  56  of the entire organic EL arrays of the corresponding row via the first line  63  and the first common lines  65 . 
         [0112]    When a positive voltage is applied from a needle pin of inspecting equipment, the positive shorting bar  61   a  of each row located at the left column direction non-array area CNA 1  applies sequentially the positive voltage from the data pad  56  of left first organic EL array of the corresponding row to the data pad  56  of a (n/2)th organic EL array, and the positive shorting bar  61   b  located at the right column direction non-array area CNAn of each row applies sequentially the positive voltage from the data pad  56  of a nth organic EL array of the corresponding row to the data pad  56  of the (n/2)th organic EL array. 
         [0113]    When a negative voltage is applied from a needle pin of inspecting equipment, the negative shorting bar  62   a  of each row located at the left column direction non-array area CNA 1  applies sequentially the negative voltage from the scan pad  57  of left first organic EL array of the corresponding row to the scan pad  57  of a (n/2)th organic EL array, and the negative shorting bar  62   b  located at the right column direction non-array area CNAn of each row applies sequentially the negative voltage from the scan pad  57  of a nth organic EL array of the corresponding row to the scan pad  57  of the (n/2)th organic EL array. 
         [0114]    When the negative shorting bars  62   a  and  62   b  are located at the left and the right sides to perform an aging process and a lighting inspection, a voltage drop of a scan line is prevented to secure a stabilization of the aging process and the lighting inspection. 
         [0115]      FIG. 15  is a flow chart showing a method of fabricating the organic EL display device according to the third and the fourth embodiments of the present invention. 
         [0116]    First of all, at a step  2  (S 2 ), the organic EL array including the first and the second electrodes and the organic light-emitting layer is formed at the array area P 1  of the mother glass. 
         [0117]    At a step  4  (S 4 ), at the non-array area P 2  of the mother glass including the organic EL array, the first and the second lines  63  and  64 , and the first and the second common lines  65  and  66  are formed to be integrated each other. Herein, the first and the second lines  63  and  64 , and the first and the second common lines  65  and  66  are formed of a conductive material such as chrome Cr, molybdenum Mo, aluminum Al, silver Ag and the like. Further, the positive and the negative shorting bars  61  and  62  are formed at one side of the edge area of the mother glass. 
         [0118]    Thereafter, the needle pin of inspecting equipment is contacted with the positive and the negative shorting bars  61  and  62  to perform an aging process and a lighting inspection. A voltage applied via the needle pin to the positive and the negative shorting bars  61  and  62  is supplied via the first and the second lines  63  and  64  and the first and the second common lines  65  and  66  to the data and the scan pads  56  and  57  of the organic EL arrays. 
         [0119]    The mother glass decided as a normal driving by the inspection process is divided into a plurality of organic EL display devices by a scribing process at a step  8  (S 8 ) after performing an encapsulation process at a step  6  (S 6 ). Accordingly, the plurality of organic EL display devices is formed. 
         [0120]    Meanwhile, the lines and the shorting bars of the non-array area P 2  of the mother glass are removed upon a scribing process. 
         [0121]    In the mother glass and the method of fabricating the organic EL display device using the same, the positive and the negative shorting bars corresponding to the organic EL display arrays of each row are formed at the edge area of the mother glass and the lines for electrically connecting the each organic EL array to the positive and the negative shorting bars formed at the edge area of the mother glass are formed. Accordingly, the present invention relatively raises the array area of the mother glass as compared to that of the related art. Thus, it is possible to improve a productivity of the organic EL display device. 
         [0122]    In addition, the present invention is possible to prevent a scratch cause on the data and the scan pads by the needle pin of the inspecting equipment as compared to the related art. Thus, it is possible to prevent a brightness difference of the EL cell, in which a scratch is generated on the data pad or the scan pad by contacting with the needle pin upon a device lighting emission, and an EL cell, in which the scratch is not generated on the data pad or the scan pad. 
         [0123]    As described above, in the mother glass and the method of fabricating the organic EL display device using the same, an aging inspection and a lighting inspection are performed by using the positive and the negative shorting bars, formed at the edge area of the non-array area in the mother glass, the first line and the first common line, connected to the positive shorting bar, and the second line and the second common line, connected the negative shorting bas. Accordingly, the non-array area of the mother glass cut by a scribing process can be reduced, so that a space capable of designing the organic EL array in the mother glass is enlarged. Thus, it is possible to reduce cost and to improve productivity. 
         [0124]    Otherwise, it is possible to prevent a scratch capable of being generated by the needle pin of inspecting equipment upon an aging process and a lighting inspection. 
         [0125]    Furthermore, new inspecting equipment for an aging process ad a lighting inspection is not needed to be designed whenever an organic EL device having another size is suggested, by locating the positive and the negative shorting bars at the edge area of the mother glass. Thus, it is possible to lower a manufacturing cost. 
         [0126]    Although the present invention has been explained by the embodiments shown in the drawings described above, it should be understood to the ordinary skilled person in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments, but rather that various changes or modifications thereof are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention shall be determined only by the appended claims and their equivalents.
