PURPOSE:To enhance the light emitting efficiency by coating a ferroelectric powder substance dissolved in a solvent on No.1 electrode upon a glass base plate, and by baking it with irradiated laser beam. CONSTITUTION:A ferroelectric insulation layer 18, a light emitting layer 20 including a micro amount of transfer metal as the light emission center in Zn-S, and an ITO electrode 22 are placed over another ITO electrode 16 upon a glass base plate 12. A SiO2 layer 24 is interposed between this insulation layer 18 and light emitting layer 20 to prevent drop of the brightness of light emission due to dispersion from the insulation layer 18. The insulation layer 18 is made from unbaked fine powder of PdTiO3, which is dissolved in ethanol and dispersed to be turned into a film, which is passed through the glass 12 and ITO 16, and the PdTiO3 is irradiated with ultraviolet laser beam 26 for baking. The SiO2 layer is formed by sputtering method. According to this constitution, the ferroelectric insulation layer 18 is thin, the specific dielectric factor is large, and the structure is with columnar crystals. Further, the surface is flat and smooth, and the threshold voltage for light emission is low. Also leak current from particle boundary is reduced, and the efficiency is enhanced to a great extent.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In this display element, an I
When a high electric field of about MV/cm is applied, the light emitting center emits light with a color unique to it. A display element with this structure has a ferroelectric insulating layer with a dielectric constant of 10,000 or more, a light emission threshold of 60 V, and a maximum luminance of 1,000 c d/m 2 or more when driven by IKhz pulses.

However, the crystal grain size obtained after firing the ferroelectric material 9 is larger than 1 m, and the surface variation is greater than the film thickness of the light emitting layer, so it is difficult to obtain a thin film with good crystallinity on this insulating layer. I can't do it. Therefore, large variations in luminance occur within the nine light-emitting layers, and the rise in luminance is not steep even after one luminescence threshold voltage is exceeded.
