Abstract

An image display system employing an organic electroluminescent device is provided. The organic electroluminescent device includes a substrate; a first electrode formed on the substrate; a first emitting layer formed on the first electrode, wherein the first emitting layer emits a first color of light, and a second color of light; a second electrode formed on the first emitting layer, wherein the second color of light emitted by the first emitting layer generates a first standing wave within the organic electroluminescent device, and the first emitting layer is disposed at an antinode of the first standing wave, such that the intensity of the second color of light is enhanced, and the second color of light is mixed with the first color of light to produce a white emission.
