An electroluminescent lamp (EL lamp) is formed by stacking a light-transmitting electrode-layer, an adhesive synthetic resin layer, a luminescent layer formed of the synthetic resin layer with phosphor particles fixed uniformly, a dielectric layer and a back electrode-layer on a transparent substrate sequentially. By this structure, a uniform EL lamp having improved brightness can be produced. A method for manufacturing the EL lamp includes following steps for fixing the phosphor particles in the synthetic resin layer uniformly. (1) sinking the phosphor particles in the synthetic resin layer by heating and pressing, after spraying the phosphor particles. (2) blowing the phosphor particles to the synthetic resin layer with heated air. As a result, the phosphor particles are uniformly fixed in the synthetic resin layer having uniform thickness.
