Abstract

An organic electroluminescent device includes electrodes, a luminescent layer which is sandwiched between the electrodes, and which includes dots consisting of red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and blue sub-pixels. The sub-pixels are arranged in predetermined patterns, each of the predetermined patterns being formed such that at least one blue sub-pixel is disposed as a central pattern, the red sub-pixels are symmetrically arranged about a central point of the central pattern, and the green sub-pixels are also symmetrically arranged about the central point of the central pattern.

Claims (15)

1. An organic electroluminescent device comprising:

electrodes; and

a luminescent layer which is sandwiched between the electrodes, and which includes dots consisting of red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and blue sub-pixels;

wherein the sub-pixels are arranged in predetermined patterns, each of the predetermined patterns being formed such that at least one of the blue sub-pixels is disposed as a central pattern, the red sub-pixels are symmetrically arranged about a central point of the central pattern, and the green sub-pixels are also symmetrically arranged about the central point of the central pattern, and

wherein the red sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels are commonly used in plural theoretical pixels.

2. An organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the sub-pixels is formed in a rectangular shape, and the central pattern consists of two blue sub-pixels.

3. An organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the sub-pixels is formed in a rectangular shape, and the central pattern consists of one blue sub-pixel, which is made longer than the red and green sub-pixels.

4. An organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the blue sub-pixels are formed in a square shape, and the central pattern consists of one blue sub-pixel, and

wherein each of the predetermined patterns is formed in a substantially square shape, and is formed such that each of the red and green sub-pixels is disposed adjacent to one of sides of the square-shaped blue sub-pixel.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising the organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 .

6. An organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein the red sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels are commonly used in at east five theoretical pixels.

7. An organic electroluminescent device according to claim 1 , wherein the theoretical pixels include:

four sub-pixels arranged in a first direction; and

two sub-pixels respectively disposed on both sides in a second direction with respect to one sub-pixel among the four sub-pixels.
