Abstract

An organic electroluminescent device and organic electroluminescent display device having enhanced efficiency are discussed. In one example, the organic electroluminescent device includes first and second electrodes facing each other on a substrate and at least two emission layers formed between the first and second electrodes and realizing blue light, wherein, among the emission layers, a first blue emission layer close to the first electrode includes a first blue dopant having a different maximum luminescence wavelength than that of a second blue dopant of a second blue emission layer close to the second electrode.
