Abstract
An electroluminescent element includes a glass substrate, on which are formed a first electrode, a first insulating layer, a first luminescent layer, a second luminescent layer, a second insulating layer, a second electrode, a protective film and a red color filter. In this structure, the first luminescent layer is made of ZnS having Mn added thereto, and the second luminescent layer is made of ZnS having Tb added thereto. Here, the clamp electric field intensity of the second luminescent layer is higher than that of the first luminescent layer, and the product of a dielectric constant and clamp electric field intensity of the first luminescent layer is larger than the product of a dielectric constant and clamp electric field intensity of the second luminescent layer. Consequently, it is possible to increase the luminance of light emitted from the luminescent layer and decrease the luminescence threshold voltage when the luminescent layer is made into a stacked layer structure.
