Patent ID: 7508005

Claim:
A light emitting display apparatus that achieves color display by using white light as a light source, comprising: a plurality of organic light emitting devices each of which includes an organic light emitting layer composed of two or more light emitting layers being stacked in a thickness direction that emit waveband lights of different colors that are complimentary to each other in producing white light, the organic light emitting device having a resonant structure so that a resonant wavelength in the thickness direction of the organic light emitting layer is positioned in the blue region of the spectrum, and outputs the white light produced by synthesizing lights that include color elements obtained from the organic light emitting layer; and a plurality of wavelength selection units each of which is provided on a path of the emission of the white light, the wavelength selection unit transmitting light of a particular wavelength included in the white light, wherein the resonant wavelength has been set such that, in the white light emitted from the plurality of organic light emitting devices, a luminance intensity distribution of a first light in the blue region (i) has a higher peak than a luminance intensity distribution of a second light in the blue region and (ii) is shifted toward an ultraviolet region, the first light being emitted in a direction deviated from the thickness direction, and the second light being emitted in the thickness direction.
