The flat-panel-display's (FPD) market and demand for highly efficient and colored luminescent films have been growing quickly. In this work, thin films were obtained from Pechini's solution by dip-coating. The green films were thermally treated at 873K in order to get ZnO:Eu 1at % thin film. A Schott® glass plate hydrothermally treated was used as substrate. The films have a mosaic shaped feature that was observed by optical microscopy. That feature is a result of substrate thermal treatment. The film deposition decreases the substrate transmittance in the visible range. When the 7F0→5L6 (392nm) Eu3+ transition is excited, it is possible to detect emission from 5D0→7FJ (J=1, 2, 3 and 4) transitions. The 5D0→7F2 transition is also observed by using ZnO excitation wavelengths indicating energy transfer from ZnO to Eu3+ ion.
