Abstract
A high luminance thin-film electroluminescent device comprising a phosphor layer comprising SrS as the host material and a luminous center. The phosphor layer is sandwiched between two insulating layers and two thin-film electrodes are provided on each side of the insulating layers. At least one of the electrodes is transparent, and the excitation spectrum of the phosphor layer exhibits a peak having a maximum value at a wavelength of about from 350 nm to 370 nm. Such a high luminance thin-film electroluminescent device can be prepared by annealing its phosphor layer comprising SrS as the host material at a temperature of at least 650 .degree. C. for at least one hour in an atmosphere of a sulfur-containing gas.
