To obtain an EL element which is of a very simple composition, and moreover is possible to fully attain minimization of a driving voltage and is excellent in mass-production with low cost by overcome a structural problem of a conventional EL element.

In the EL element which has a pair of electrodes 2 insulated electrically, a dielectric layer, and a luminescence layer each on top of the other on the substrate 1, each luminescence layer corresponding to the pair of electrodes is connected electrically, and EL circuit is formed between the pair of electrodes.
