Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an EL luminous device of excellent moisture resistance by arranging a resinous film of high water absorption between a transparent electrode and a moisture-proof resinous film. CONSTITUTION:In an EL luminous device for which an insulating layer 2, a luminous layer 3 and a transparent electrode 4 are deposited on a back electrode 1, being coated by a moisture-proof resinous film 6, a resinous film 7 of high water absorption is arranged between the transparent electrode 4 and the moisture-proof resinous film 6. The resinous film of high water absorption can be formed out of a copolymer of vinyl alcohol and acrylic acid, a polymer of polyethylene oxide system, or of a polymer of acrylic acid soda. For the resinous film of high water absorption, it can be preliminarily formed in film, or the film can be formed by applying the resin of high water absorption that is resolved by an organic solvent, such as toluene, etc., directly on the transparent electrode by screen printing, or the like.
