Disclosed is an EL element in which the rigidity and thermal expansion of the whole EL element is homogeneous, the spacing between film substrates provided respectively on both sides of the EL element can be kept constant, and the whole EL element is flexible. The EL element comprises a first film substrate, an EL part, and a sealant layer, the EL part comprising a first electrode, an EL layer, and a second electrode and being provided on a part of a surface of the first film substrate, the sealant layer being provided to cover the EL part and to cover the 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. |
