Abstract

A light-emitting element according to the invention includes an anode, a cathode, and a light-emitting layer which is provided between the anode and the cathode, contains a light-emitting material and a host material that holds the light-emitting material, and emits light having a peak wavelength in a near-infrared region by applying a current between the anode and the cathode, wherein the content of the light-emitting material in the light-emitting layer is 30 wt % or more and 70 wt % or less. Further, it is preferred that the light-emitting layer emits light having the peak wavelength of 700 nm or more and 960 nm or less.

Claims (20)

1. A light-emitting element, comprising:

an anode;

a cathode; and

a light-emitting layer which is provided between the anode and the cathode, contains a light-emitting material and a host material that holds the light-emitting material, and emits light having a peak wavelength in a near-infrared region by applying a current between the anode and the cathode,

wherein the content of the light-emitting material in the light-emitting layer is 30 wt % or more and 70 wt % or less, and

the light-emitting material contains at least one of a compound represented by the following general formula (IRD1) and a compound represented by the following formula IRD2-1:

wherein R each independently represents an aryl group, an arylamino group, triarylamine, or a group containing at least one of the derivatives thereof,

2. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the general formula (IRD1) is a compound represented by the following formula IRD1-1:

3. A light-emitting device, comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 2 .

4. A light source, comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 2 .

5. An authentication device, comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 2 .

6. An electronic apparatus, comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 2 .

7. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the host material contains a compound represented by the following formula IRH1:

wherein n represents a natural number of 1 to 12, and R each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group which may have a substituent, or an arylamino group.

8. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting layer emits light having the peak wavelength of 700 nm or more and 960 nm or less.

9. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the light-emitting material in the light-emitting layer is 50 wt % or more and 70 wt % or less.

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

11. A light source, comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 1 .

12. An authentication device, comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 1 .

13. An electronic apparatus, comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 1 .
