Abstract

An organic device comprising a reflective electrode, an organic layer arranged on the reflective electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode arranged on the organic layer and a reflection surface formed above the semi-transmissive electrode is provided. The organic layer emits white light and includes a blue-emitting layer. An optical distance L of the organic layer satisfies L≥[{(ϕr+ϕs)/π}×(λb/4)]×1.2, where λb is a peak wavelength of the blue-emitting layer, ϕr and ϕs are a phase shift of the wavelength λb in the reflective electrode and the semi-transmissive electrode, respectively. A resonant wavelength of an optical distance between the semi-transmissive electrode and the reflection surface is shorter than the wavelength λb.
