An electroluminescent device includes an R pixel which emits red light, a
G pixel which emits green light, and a B pixel which emits blue light,
and an insulator laminated film. In the electroluminescent device, each
pixel has, at least, a pair of electrodes of which one is a light
transmitting electrode and a light-emitting layer which is inserted
between the electrodes, and emits light by being supplied with electric
energy. The insulator laminated film is formed on the surface of the
light transmitting electrode opposite to the light-emitting layer and has
a plurality of low refractive-index layers each formed of a light
transmitting insulator and a plurality of high refractive-index layers
each formed of a light transmitting insulator having a refractive index
higher than that of the low refractive-index layer, which are alternately
laminated. Each low refractive-index layer is formed over the entire
luminescent region of the R pixel, the G pixel, and the B pixel and has a
constant thickness even in any one of regions which overlap the R pixel,
the G pixel, and the B pixel. Each high refractive-index layer is formed
over the entire luminescent region of the R pixel, the G pixel, and the B
pixel and has a constant thickness even in any one of regions which
overlap the R pixel, the G pixel, and the B pixel. The plurality of the
low refractive-index layers have different thicknesses, and the plurality
of the high refractive-index layers have different thicknesses. The
thicknesses of the low refractive-index layers and the high
refractive-index layers are determined such that, when the light-emitting
layer emits light, light having an intensity higher than that of the case
of not having the insulator laminated film is emitted from the insulator
laminated film by reflection at, at least, the interface between the
light transmitting electrode and the insulator laminated film and the
interfaces between the low refractive-index layers and the high
refractive-index layers, even in a luminescence peak wavelength of any
one of the R pixel, the G pixel, and the B pixel.
