Patent ID: 8237358

Claim:
A top emission organic electroluminescent display device, comprising: a first substrate including a pixel region; a switching thin film transistor and a driving thin film transistor in the pixel region on the first substrate; a passivation layer covering the switching thin film transistor and the driving thin film transistor and exposing a drain electrode of the driving thin film transistor; a connection electrode on the passivation layer and contacting the drain electrode of the driving thin film transistor; a partition wall corresponding to a border between adjacent pixel regions and overlapping an edge portion of the connection electrode; an x-ray shield layer on the connection electrode between adjacent partition walls, the x-ray shield layer patterned in the pixel region due to the partition wall such that the x-ray shield layer is formed between the adjacent partition walls; a first electrode on the x-ray shield layer; a bank covering the partition wall and contacting an edge portion of the first electrode; an organic emission layer on the first electrode between adjacent banks; a second electrode on the organic emission layer; and a second substrate facing the first substrate and being transparent.
