Organic EL display device with plural electrode segments

An organic EL display device comprising a plurality of display elements formed on a substrate;

• wherein each of the display elements includes a first electrode segment formed on the substrate, an organic segment formed on the first electrode segment and having a light emitting element for generating light upon application of an electric field, and a second electrode segment formed on the organic segment;
• wherein the second electrode segment includes an opening for allowing passage of the light generated in the organic element;
• wherein the organic EL display device comprises a plurality of first strip electrodes extending in a first direction and each including a plurality of said first electrode segments arranged in a row extending in the first direction, and a plurality of second strip electrodes extending in a second direction transverse to the first direction and each including a plurality of said second electrode segments arranged in a row extending in the second direction;
• and
• wherein the opening is provided in a respective one of the second electrodes at a position crossing a respective one of the first electrodes.
