Organic electroluminescence display device having a desiccant on glass plate

An organic electroluminescence display device comprising:

• a substrate having a screen provided thereat;
• an organic electroluminescence layer arranged in matrix form on a surface of the substrate and adapted to emit light when voltage is applied to the organic electroluminescence layer;
• the organic electroluminescence display device being adapted to produce an image on the screen when voltage is applied to the organic electroluminescence layer and the organic electroluminescence layer then emit the light;
• a rear glass plate sealingly bonded through a sealing frame to the surface of the substrate by sealing members, whereby an interior of the organic electroluminescence display device is hermetically sealed;
• elongated plate means bonded on an inner surface of the rear glass plate so as to traverse the screen when the display device is superficially viewed;
• and
• desiccant means installed on an area of the inner surface of the rear glass plate on which the elongated plate means is not provided.
