Specifically, by adjusting the film thickness of the ITO layer 104, in the subpixel 110R, the distance between the anode 103 and the semi-transmissive electrode 106 is set to an optical path length in which the red wavelength resonates, and in the subpixel 110G, the anode 103 The sub-pixel 110B has a distance between the anode 103 and the semi-transmissive electrode 106, and an optical path length at which the blue wavelength resonates.

If the W subpixel is provided, the transflective electrode is formed in the W subpixel with the same film thickness. For this reason, unless the ITO layer in the W subpixel is made extremely different in thickness from the other subpixels, the cavity effect is also applied in the W subpixel, and the emitted light from the W subpixel is colored.

- the thickness of the optical path length adjusting layer 237 is set so that the distance between the light reflecting electrode 234 and the light transflective layer 232 is an optical distance at which R, G, B light resonates.
- the light emitted from the white organic electroluminescent layer 235 is repeatedly reflected between the light reflecting electrode 234 and the light semi-transmissive reflective layer 232, and R, G, and B light having resonance wavelengths are respectively reflected in the light semi-transmissive reflective layer.
