Abstract

Disclosed herein is an organic electroluminescence display including a plurality of first electrodes, a hole injection/transport layer, a second organic light emitting layer for another color, a connection layer, a first organic light emitting layer for blue color, an electron injection/transport layer, and an electron injection/transport layer. The first electrodes are provided on a substrate on the basis of each of a first organic electroluminescence element for blue color and a second organic electroluminescence element for another color. The hole injection/transport layer is provided over the whole surface area on the first electrodes and having a property for one of hole injection or transport. The second organic light emitting layer for another color is provided over the whole surface area on the hole injection/transport layer and having a crystal part in a part. The connection layer is provided over the whole surface area on the second organic light emitting layer.
