To provide a color EL(electroluminescence) panel capable of preventing moisture from penetrating into its interior and hence having excellent long-term reliability.

In a color EL panel 30, a frame-like projecting part 41 is formed on a substrate 35 for a thin film EL device 31, for example with frit glass, a strip-shaped lower electrode 36 is formed on this substrate 35, a lower insulating layer 37, a light emitting layer 38, and an upper insulating layer 39 are formed on this lower electrode 36, and a strip shaped upper electrode 40 is formed on a structure thus made so as to be perpendicular to the lower electrode 36. A color filter 32 and a spacer 33 are formed on a translucent substrate 34, and the translucent substrate 34 and the substrate 35 are bonded together through an adhesive layer 44, such as of epoxy resin, on a convex part 41 so that the color filter 32 faces the thin film EL device 31. Finally, a silicone oil is injected and a panel is sealed to finish the color EL panel 30.
