Abstract

A thin-film electroluminescence element is formed by laminating, in order, on a glass substrate which is an insulating substrate, a first transparent electrode including optically transparent ZnO, a first insulating layer including optically transparent strontium titanate, a luminescent layer including CaGa.sub.2.9 S.sub.4.2 to which Ce is added as a luminescent center, a second insulating layer including optically transparent strontium titanate and a second transparent electrode including optically transparent ZnO. The optical spectrum of the luminescent layer deviates towards a short wavelength side due to the crystal structure changing and the ligand field surrounding the Ce changing slightly due to the existence of excess Ga in the luminescent layer. Also, because calcium thiogallate is used, high light intensity can be maintained.
