An electroluminescence device comprising luminescent layer (13) containing a light emitter and, disposed for applying voltage to the luminescent layer, a pair of electrodes (12,15), wherein the luminescent layer (13) contains an acetylacetonate complex salt so as to realize an electroluminescence device of high luminance. An electroluminescence device of higher luminance is realized by, as the contained acetylacetonate complex salt, using of a complex salt of acetylacetonate coordinated with a trivalent metal atom, especially a metal atom of Group 3 or Group 13. |
