A high-efficiency electron-emitting device that can emit electron with higher luminance at a voltage lower than conventional electron-emitting devices, as a key device of a flat panel display, image pickup device, electron beam device, microwave traveling-wave tube is provided to improve the carrier injection efficiency and enhance luminance of an organic light-emitting device. A film having space charge with a thickness of 50 nm or less is formed on a surface of a conductive material on which irregularities, amorphous or fibrous materials are formed. The film includes compounds of group 3 atoms such as aluminum nitride, boron nitride, aluminum nitride boron, aluminum nitride gallium, boron nitride gallium and nitrogen atoms, and nitride, carbon, silicon, oxygen and boron such as oxides including nitrogen boron carbon, boron carbide, carbon nitride, boron.
