Abstract: In a dual insulation thin film type electroluminescence device comprising a first insulation layer, a light emitting layer and a second insulation layer between a transparent electrode layer and a back electrode layer, a tantalum oxynitride layer is provided between the transparent electrode layer and the first insulation layer to prevent increase of the resistance in the transparent electrode and to prevent increase of current leakage in the insulation layer so that a high luminescence can be achieved.

Abstract: A superconductor for magnetic field shield comprising closed-ring disc-shaped superconductive magnetic field shielding members and spacing members having the same shape as that of the magnetic field shielding member and alternately laminated with the shielding members, the superconductor for magnetic field shield being characterized in that the shield has an extremely superior and stable magnetic field shielding effect without any secular reduction of the shielding effect and capable of providing a large shielding space using a minimum amount of material.

Abstract: A magnetic field shield including a superconductive film characterized in that the magnetic field shield comprises a superconductive film layer constituted primarily of a mixed crystalline body of niobium nitride and titanium nitride laminated on a metal substrate, that the magnetic field further comprises a nobium-titanium alloy layer or a metal film layer in the above lamination, that the magnetic field comprises a plurality of the above-mentioned layers, and that the magnetic field has a plurality of small holes passing through the layers in the direction of the thickness. The magnetic field shield of the present invention produces an excellent magnetic field shielding effect due to a superconductive characteristic peculiar to the superconductive film layer constituted primarily by a mixed crystalline body of niobium nitride and titanium nitride. The cooling effect of the metal substrate maintains the magnetic field shielding effect at a high level.

Abstract: A superconductor for magnetic field shielding comprising a substrate, at least one superconductor film layer, which is laminated on the substrate, and a plurality of small holes 2 which pass through the substrate and the superconductor film layer, wherein the thickness of the superconductor film layer is 100 .mu.m or less.The superconductor of the present invention uses both superconductive shielding and electromagnetic shielding to deliver extremely high magnetic shielding performance.
