An organic electroluminescent display includes an organic electroluminescent device, having a microcavity structure, for emitting light resonating in the microcavity structure; a light-shielding layer having an opening through which a portion of the light emitted from the organic electroluminescent device passes; and a light-gathering structure, disposed between the organic electroluminescent device and the light-shielding layer, for gathering the light emitted from the organic electroluminescent device. An apparatus includes a controller for providing image information; an organic electroluminescent device, having a microcavity structure, for emitting light resonating in the microcavity structure, based on the image information provided from the controller; a light-shielding layer having an opening through which a portion of the light emitted from the organic electroluminescent device passes; and a light-gathering structure, disposed between the organic electroluminescent device and the light-shielding layer, for gathering the light emitted from the organic electroluminescent device.
