An active matrix type organic electroluminescence device having a plurality of sub-pixels disposed on a substrate, wherein each of the sub-pixels includes a first thin film transistor driven by a driving circuit, a second thin film transistor driven by the first thin film transistor, and a display portion driven by the second thin film transistor; the display portion includes a first electrode to receive a first electric charge from the second thin film transistor, a second electrode to receive a second electric charge from a second electrode connecting terminal disposed outside of the sub-pixel, a light emitting layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and an electric charge transfoer layer interposed between the light emitting layer and at least one of the first and the second electrodes; and the second electrode and the second electrode connecting terminal are directly electrically connected.
