Abstract: An organic electroluminescent device and a method of manufacturing the same. The organic electroluminescent device includes: a transparent substrate; a first electrode layer including a series of first electrode lines formed on the top surface of the substrate as a predetermined pattern and connected to first electrode pad portions at opposite edges of the substrate; an organic layer formed as a predetermined pattern on the first electrode lines; a second electrode layer including a series of second electrode lines formed on the substrate, on which the first electrode lines and the organic layer are formed, as a predetermined pattern to be insulated from the first electrode lines and connected to second electrode pad portions at the other edges of the substrate; a cap bonded to the substrate using a sealant to seal the organic layer within its inner sealing space; and a barrier portion which blocks the flow of the sealant on the substrate inwards or outwards the sealing space.
