Patent ID: 7012366

Claim:
An organic electroluminescent device, comprising: first and second substrates attached by a seal pattern: array elements including a plurality of switching devices on the first substrate; a color changing medium on a rear surface of the second substrate, wherein the color changing medium has a black matrix that defines sub-pixel regions and has red, green, and blue color changing layers respectively corresponding to the sub-pixel regions; a planarizing layer being continuous and on the color changing medium; a first electrode on a rear surface of the planarizing layer; an organic electroluminescent layer on a rear surface of the first electrode; second electrodes on a rear surface of the organic electroluminescent layer that correspond to respective sub-pixel regions; and a plurality of electrical connectors between the first and second substrates, wherein the plurality of electrical connectors connect the array elements on the first substrate to the second electrodes on the second substrate, respectively, and wherein the plurality of electrical connectors include a material different from the second electrodes.
