Abstract

The present invention relates to an organic light emitting device, wherein distances between pixel electrodes and common electrodes of a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel are referred to as a first resonance distance, a second resonance distance, and a third resonance distance, respectively. A resonance order of a first color light for the first resonance distance is lower than at least one of resonance orders of a second color light and a third color light for the second resonance distance and the third resonance distance, respectively.
