There are provided an organic EL device and a method of fabricating the
same. An effective display area on which an anode electrode, an organic
luminescence layer and a cathode electrode are formed is sealed by means
of a metal can, a glass cap or an organic/inorganic material. A power
source is applied to the anode and the cathode electrodes through a power
transferring part extended from the effective display area to a
non-effective display area. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the
oxidation of the cathode electrode of the organic EL device, thereby
preventing the electrical contact characteristics of the cathode
electrode from being deteriorated.
