Light emitting display and method of manufacturing the same

A light emitting display including an image display part formed on a substrate and a pad part indcluding at least one terminal electrically connected to the image display part, the light emitting display comprising:

• thin film transistors formed on the image display part and at least one electroluminescent device electrically connected to the thin film transistors and including a first electrode layer, an emission layer, and a second electrode layer;
• a protection layer on the electroluminescent device, such that the at least one terminal is exposed;
• and
• a sealing panel formed on the image display part to surround the electroluminescent device.

A method of forming a light emitting display comprising:

• forming a thin film transistor and an electroluminescent device electrically connected to the thin film transistor in an image display part;
• forming a protection layer over the image display part after the thin film transistor and the electroluminescent device are formed;
• sealing the image display part with a panel, the image display part including the thin film transistor and the electroluminescent device, after the protection layer is formed;
• and
• removing the protection layer from a pad part coupled to the image display part after the image display part is sealed.
