EL and display device having sealant layer

A display using an EL element,

• said EL element comprising a first film substrate, an EL part, and a sealant layer,
• said EL part comprising a first electrode, an insulating layer pattern, an EL layer, and a second electrode, wherein said insulating layer pattern is between the first electrode and the EL layer or between the EL layer and the second electrode and separates the entirety of the EL layer from the first or second electrode, said EL part being provided on a part of a surface of the first film substrate,
• said sealant layer being provided to cover said EL part and to cover an EL part-free part of the surface of the first film substrate in such a manner that the sealant layer covering the EL part is contiguous with the sealant layer covering the EL part-free part of the surface of the first film substrate,
• said EL element being located on such a side that, upon energization of any one of or both the first film substrate side and the sealant layer side, fluorescent emission is viewable, a light transparent pattern layer being formed on the fluorescent emission-viewable side.
