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.
