Abstract

A light-emitting element having a long lifetime is provided. A light-emitting element exhibiting high emission efficiency in a high luminance region is provided. A light-emitting element includes a light-emitting layer between a pair of electrodes. The light-emitting layer contains a first organic compound, a second organic compound, and a phosphorescent compound. The first organic compound is represented by a general formula (G0). The molecular weight of the first organic compound is greater than or equal to 500 and less than or equal to 2000. The second organic compound is a compound having an electron-transport property. In the general formula (G0), Ar 1 and Ar 2 each independently represent a fluorenyl group, a spirofluorenyl group, or a biphenyl group, and Ar 3 represents a substituent including a carbazole skeleton.
