Patent ID: 7960908

Claim:
An organic EL display, comprising: a first pixel having a first organic EL element and a first coloring layer; a second pixel having a second organic EL element and a second coloring layer; and a third pixel having a third organic EL element and a third coloring layer, wherein each of the first to third coloring layers has a light absorption characteristic, and wherein each of the first to third organic EL elements includes a front electrode facing the corresponding coloring layer, a back electrode, and an emitting layer interposed therebetween and having an optical resonator structure, the display being configured such that the first organic EL element emits a light whose maximum intensity wavelength λ res in a normal direction is shorter than that of the second organic EL element, the third organic EL element emits a light whose maximum intensity wavelength λ res in a normal direction is longer than that of the second organic EL element, a maximum transmittance wavelength λ max corresponding to a maximum transmittance T max of the first coloring layer is shorter than that of the second coloring layer, a maximum transmittance wavelength λ max corresponding to a maximum transmittance T max of the third coloring layer is longer than that of the second coloring layer, and the wavelength λ res of each of the first to third organic EL elements is shorter than the wavelength λ max of the corresponding coloring layer.
