An organic electroluminescent device and a method of manufacturing the same
are provided. The organic electroluminescent device includes: a
transparent substrate; a first electrode layer including a series of first
electrode lines formed on the top surface of the substrate as a
predetermined pattern and connected to first electrode pad portions at
opposite edges of the substrate; an organic layer formed as a
predetermined pattern on the first electrode lines; a second electrode
layer including a series of second electrode lines formed on the
substrate, on which the first electrode lines and the organic layer are
formed, as a predetermined pattern to be insulated from the first
electrode lines and connected to second electrode pad portions at the
other edges of the substrate; a cap bonded to the substrate using a
sealant to seal the organic layer within its inner sealing space; and a
barrier portion which blocks the flow of the sealant on the substrate
inwards or outwards the sealing space.
