Abstract

Provided is a light-emitting element which includes a first electrode, a second electrode over the first electrode, and first and second light-emitting layers therebetween. The first light-emitting layer contains a first host material and a first light-emitting material, and the second light-emitting layer contains a second host material and a second light-emitting material. The first light-emitting material is a fluorescent material, and the second light-emitting material is a phosphorescent material. The level of the lowest triplet excited state (T 1 level) of the first light-emitting material is higher than the T 1 level of the first host material. A light-emitting device, an electronic device, and a lighting device including the light-emitting element are further provided.

Claims (42)

1 . A light-emitting element comprising:

a first electrode;

a second electrode over the first electrode; and

a first light-emitting layer and a second light-emitting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the first light-emitting layer comprises a first host material and a first light-emitting material,

wherein the second light-emitting layer comprises a second host material and a second light-emitting material,

wherein the first light-emitting material is a fluorescent material, and the second light-emitting material is a phosphorescent material, and

wherein a T 1 level of the first light-emitting material is higher than a T 1 level of the first host material.

2 . The light-emitting element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer are in contact with each other.

3 . The light-emitting element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer are separated from each other.

4 . The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , further comprising a layer between the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer,

wherein the layer comprises a hole-transport material and an electron-transport material.

5 . The light-emitting element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second light-emitting layer is located over the first light-emitting layer.

6 . A light-emitting device comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 1 .

7 . A lighting device comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 1 .

8 . A light-emitting element comprising:

a first electrode;

a second electrode over the first electrode;

a first light-emitting unit and a second light-emitting unit between the first electrode and the second electrode; and

an interlayer between the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit,

wherein the first light-emitting unit comprises a first light-emitting layer and a second light-emitting layer,

wherein the first light-emitting layer comprises a first host material and a first light-emitting material,

wherein the second light-emitting layer comprises a second host material and a second light-emitting material,

wherein the first light-emitting material is a fluorescent material and the second light-emitting material is a phosphorescent material, and

wherein a T 1 level of the first light-emitting material is higher than a T 1 level of the first host material.

9 . The light-emitting element according to claim 8 ,

wherein the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer are in contact with each other.

10 . The light-emitting element according to claim 8 ,

wherein the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer are separated from each other.

11 . The light-emitting element according to claim 8 , further comprising a layer between the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer,

wherein the layer comprises a hole-transport material and an electron-transport material.

12 . The light-emitting element according to claim 8 ,

wherein the second light-emitting layer is located over the first light-emitting layer.

13 . The light-emitting element according to claim 8 ,

wherein the second light-emitting unit is located over the first light-emitting unit.

14 . The light-emitting element according to claim 8 ,

wherein the second light-emitting unit comprises a third light-emitting layer which comprises a third host material and a third light-emitting material.

15 . A light-emitting device comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 8 .

16 . A lighting device comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 8 .
