A dual panel type organic electroluminescent device includes a first substrate having a first region and a second region corresponding to a peripheral region of the first region, TFTs formed in the first region, pad parts formed in the second region, a second substrate attached to the first substrate with a predetermined space therebetween, the second substrate overlapping the first region and exposing the second region of the first substrate, a first electrode, an organic electroluminescent layer and a second electrode formed on the second substrate facing the first substrate, a first electrical connection pattern connecting the thin film transistor with the second electrode, a second electrical connection pattern connecting one of the pad parts with the first electrode, a seal pattern disposed on edges of the first and second substrates, and a dummy spacer disposed between an image display region of the first region and the seal pattern.
