`
`a second plurality of portions in the opening patterns; the second plurality of
`
`portions connecting the first plurality of portions.
`
`11.
`
`The electroluminescent display deVice of claim 10; wherein an area of a top of
`
`one of the openings is greater than or equal to another area of a bottom of the one of the
`
`openings.
`
`12.
`
`The electroluminescent display deVice of claim 10; wherein a shape of at least
`
`one of the first plurality of portions of the second electrode is circular or polygonal.
`
`13.
`
`The electroluminescent display deVice of claim 10; wherein a width of at least
`
`one of the first plurality of portions of the second electrode is greater than another width of at
`
`least one of the second plurality of portions of the second electrode.
`
`14.
`
`The electroluminescent display deVice of claim 10; wherein the substrate
`
`includes a plurality of subpixels; and the second plurality of portions of the second electrode of
`
`adjacent subpixels are connected to each other.
`
`43
`
`

`

`15.
`
`The electroluminescent display device of claim 10; wherein the first plurality of
`
`portions of the second electrode are disposed at equal intervals on the bank layer.
`
`16.
`
`The electroluminescent display device of claim 10; wherein the first plurality of
`
`portions of the second electrode are disposed at unequal intervals on the bank layer.
`
`17.
`
`The electroluminescent display device of claim 10; wherein at least one of the
`
`second plurality of portions of the second electrode is connected to each of the first plurality of
`
`portions of the second electrode.
