Abstract

An organic electroluminescence device including a substrate, an organic emitting device layer, a circuit board, a sealant and an electrical bonding layer is provided. The organic emitting device layer is on the substrate and has a first electrode layer, an emitting layer and a second electrode layer. The first electrode layer is disposed on the substrate, the emitting layer is disposed on the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer is disposed on the emitting layer. The circuit board is disposed over the substrate and covers the organic emitting device layer. The sealant is disposed between the substrate and the circuit board to seal the circuit board on the substrate. The electrical bonding layer is disposed between the substrate and the circuit board to electrically connect the circuit board and the first electrode layer of the organic emitting device layer.
