Abstract: An electroluminescent device includes, for example, first to third optical output parts respectively corresponding to red, green, and blue colors and each having a light-emitting layer. A visibility spectrum curve has an inclination value corresponding to the first optical output part, an inclination value corresponding to the second optical output part, and an inclination value corresponding to the third optical output part. Each inclination value corresponds to an emission peak wavelength at which an emission spectrum of a light ray emitted from the light-emitting layer of the corresponding optical output part reaches a maximum intensity value. The inclination values have the following relationship: first optical output part>second optical output part>third optical output part. The emission spectra of the optical output parts have widths in the following relationship: first optical output part>second optical output part>third optical output part.

Abstract: An electroluminescent device includes a first optical output part having a light-emitting layer emitting a light ray of a first color, a second optical output part having a light-emitting layer emitting a light ray of a second color, and a third optical output part having a light-emitting layer emitting a light ray of a third color, the colors being different from one another. Each of the optical output parts also has a resonator structure that resonates the light ray emitted from the light-emitting layer. In each optical output part, a resonant peak wavelength indicating a peak value of a transmission spectrum of light transmitted through the resonator structure in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the light-emitting layer is on a longer or shorter wavelength side of an emission peak wavelength indicating a peak value of an emission spectrum of the light ray emitted by the light-emitting layer.
