Patent ID: 7754521

Claim:
A method of fabricating an organic electroluminescent device, comprising: forming an array element including a thin film transistor on a first substrate having a first region and a second region in a periphery of the first region; forming a spacer on the first substrate in the second region; forming an organic electroluminescent diode on a second substrate having the first region and the second region, the organic electroluminescent diode in the first region; forming an absorbent layer on the second substrate in the second region; forming a connection electrode on one of the first and second substrates; and connecting the first and second substrates electrically through the connection electrode, wherein first laminate layers including the organic electroluminescent diode of the second substrate in the first region have a thickness substantially equal to a thickness of second laminate layers including the absorbent layer of the second substrate in the second region.
