Patent ID: 7777219

Claim:
A dual panel type organic electroluminescent display device, comprising: first and second substrates facing each other; a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines on the first substrate including a display region, where a plurality of pixel regions are defined, and a non-display region, where a plurality of dummy pixel regions are defined, surrounding the display region, wherein two outmost gate lines and two outmost data lines, which cross the two outmost gate lines, surround the display region; a first thin film transistor (TFT) positioned in each pixel region and on the first substrate, the first TFT connected to one of the plurality of gate lines and one of the plurality of data lines; and a first connection electrode on and contacting the first TFT; a second TFT positioned in each dummy pixel region and having substantially the same structure as the first TFT; a second connection electrode covering the second TFT; a first electrode on an entire surface of the second substrate; a plurality of first buffer patterns on the first electrode in boundaries of the plurality of pixel regions and the plurality of dummy pixel regions; a plurality of first spacers on the plurality of first buffer pattern; an organic luminescent layer on the first electrode; a second electrode on organic luminescent layer; and a third connection electrode extending from the second electrode and covering the plurality of first spacer, wherein the first electrode, the second electrode and the organic luminescent layer between the first and second electrodes comprises an organic luminescent diode, and wherein the third connection electrode in the each pixel region contacts the first connection electrode in the first substrate and the third connection electrode in the each dummy pixel region contacts the second connection electrode in the first substrate.
