A dual panel-type organic electroluminescent display device includes a first substrate on which gate and data lines cross each other to define sub-pixels. Array elements are disposed at the sub-pixels on the first substrate. A first electrode is disposed on substantially the entire surface of a second substrate opposing the first substrate. An insulating pattern is disposed on the first electrode, an organic electroluminescent layer is disposed on the first electrode, and a second electrode is disposed on the organic electroluminescent layer at each sub-pixel. A connection pattern connects the array element and the second electrode at each sub-pixel. The connection pattern contacts the second electrode under the insulating pattern.
