Abstract
The present invention relates to a modification of a thin film EL device for performing an EL emission according to an electric field being applied, and in particular to a thin film EL device for providing a stable luminance for a long time and for improving the luminance of a blue color display. Therefore, a light emission layer (4) is composed of a sulfide of an alkaline earth metal as a basic material. Insulation layers (3) and (5) disposed adjacent to the light emission layer (4) are composed of a sulfate or a carbonate of an alkaline earth metal. The light emission layer (4) is composed of SrS as a basic material, Ce as a light emission substance, and a Pb dopant as a coactivator.
