Abstract

An organic EL device includes a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate including a first insulating substrate, a TFT formed on the first insulating substrate and a capacitor. It also includes an organic EL substrate including a second insulating substrate, and a transparent electrode, an organic EL layer and a metal electrode, which are sequentially stacked on the second insulating substrate. The TFT is coupled to the metal electrode.
