Patent ID: 7583023

Claim:
An organic electroluminescent device, comprising: first and second substrates spaced apart from each other, the first and second substrates including a pixel region; an array element layer on an inner surface of the first substrate, the array element layer including a switching element and a driving element connected to the switching element; an organic electroluminescent diode in the pixel region on an inner surface of the second substrate; a separator in a boundary region of the pixel region on the inner surface of the second substrate; an absorbent element in the pixel region on one of the array element layer and the organic electroluminescent diode; a protective layer contact and directly on the absorbent element such that the protective layer protects the absorbent element and the absorbent element's ability of removing moisture is regularly controlled, wherein the absorbent element and the protective layer are disposed between adjacent separators, and the absorbent element and the protective layer are disposed between the array element layer and the organic electroluminescent diode; and a connection electrode electrically connecting the array element layer and the organic electroluminescent diode.
