An organic EL device based on top emission and a method for fabricating the same arc disclosed. The organic EL device includes a substrate, a thin film transistor (TFT) formed on the substrate, a planarization film formed on the entire surface of the substrate including the TFT, a first electrode formed on the planarization film, having a surface at a corner area higher than a surface at a center area, an organic EL layer formed on the first electrode, and a second electrode formed on the organic EL layer.
