A liquid crystal display apparatus has a liquid crystal panel and a lighting apparatus arranged at the backside of the liquid crystal panel. The lighting apparatus has an organic electroluminescent device as a light source. The organic electroluminescent device includes a pair of electrodes and an organic layer arranged between the electrodes for emitting light when an electric field is applied to the organic layer. An emission spectrum of the organic electroluminescent device has peak in each of red, green, blue, and cyan wavelength zones. Therefore, the colors of printed objects on the liquid crystal display are accurately reproduced. |
