Patent ID: 7759675

Claim:
An organic electroluminescent device comprising: a substrate: a plurality of anode electrode layers disposed in a first direction on the substrate; a plurality of cathode electrode layers disposed in a second direction different from the first direction on the substrate; luminescent areas formed by the anode electrode layers and the cathode electrode layers; a plurality of data lines electrically communicated with the anode electrode layers; a plurality of scan lines electrically communicated with the cathode electrode layers; and a cap attached to the substrate by a sealant to seal the anode electrode layers, the cathode electrode layers and the luminescent areas, wherein each of the data lines and the scan lines includes a transparent electrode layer and a sub-electrode layers formed on the substrate, wherein the sub-electrode layer completely encloses the transparent electrode layer, is directly formed on the substrate at an area to which the cap is attached, and wherein the sealant is spread on a part of the sub-electrode layers corresponding to the area to which the cap is attached.
