Abstract

Provided is a light-emitting element including a fluorescence-emitting material with high emission efficiency. The light-emitting element includes a pair of electrodes and an EL layer between the pair of electrodes. The EL layer includes a first organic compound, a second organic compound, and a guest material. The first organic compound has a function of emitting a thermally activated delayed fluorescence at room temperature. The guest material has a function of emitting fluorescence. A HOMO level of the first organic compound higher than or equal to a HOMO level of the second organic compound. A LUMO level of the first organic compound is lower than or equal to a LUMO level of the second organic compound.
