Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9857525A1] An electroluminescent (EL) device is disclosed and includes an electroluminescent element (9) having a light-emitting surface (91), and a prismatic film (1) having a surface (11) on which a plurality of prisms are provided and a back surface (12) opposed to said surface (11) and being placed on said light-emitting surface (91), wherein the back surface (12) of the prismatic film (1) and said light-emitting surface (91) of the electroluminescent element (9) are closely bonded optically. The EL device can effectively intensify the light which is emitted in the normal line direction and also in the direction deviating from the normal line, and increase the luminance in the wide observation angle range.
