Abstract

An organic electroluminescent display device comprises a substrate, including a pixel region and a non-pixel region at a boundary of the pixel region; a first electrode on the substrate in the pixel region; a separator over the first electrode, the separator located in the non-pixel region, the separator including a first portion having a first width and a second portion having a second width smaller than the first width, the first portion overlapping edges of the first electrode, and the second portion within the non-pixel region; an organic electroluminescent layer over the separator in the pixel region surrounded by the separator; and a second electrode on an entire surface of the organic electroluminescent layer and the separator.

Claims (9)

1. An organic electroluminescent display device, comprising:

a substrate, including a pixel region and a non-pixel region at a boundary of the pixel region;

a first electrode on the substrate in the pixel region;

a separator over the first electrode, the separator located in the non-pixel region, the separator including a first portion having a first width and a second portion having a second width smaller than the first width, the first portion overlapping edges of the first electrode, and the second portion within the non-pixel region, wherein sides of the first and second portions from a step shape, the second portion is on the first portion, and the first portion is between the second portion and the first electrode;

an organic electroluminescent layer over the separator in the pixel region surrounded by the separator; and

a second electrode on an entire surface of the organic electroluminescent layer and the separator.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a side gap between the first width and the second width is between 2 micrometers to 10 micrometers.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first portion of the separator is less than about 300 nanometers.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a side of the second portion is perpendicular to a surface of the substrate.
