An organic electroluminescent device includes first and second substrates having pixel regions and a peripheral region, a first common electrode at the peripheral region on the first substrate, a driving thin film transistor (TFT) at each of the pixel regions on the first substrate, a first connection electrode connected to a drain electrode of the TFT, a second connection electrode connected to the first common electrode, a first electrode on the second substrate, isolating patterns on the first electrode corresponding to each border between the pixel regions, a first insulating pattern on the first electrode corresponding to the second connection electrode, partition walls on the isolating patterns, an organic luminescent layer on the first electrode, a second electrode on the organic luminescent layer connected to the first connection electrode at each of the pixel regions, and a first contacting electrode on the first insulating pattern contacting the first electrode.
