Abstract

A multicolor light-emitting element using fluorescence and phosphorescence, which has a small number of manufacturing steps owing to a relatively small number of layers to be formed and is advantageous for practical application can be provided. In addition, a multicolor light-emitting element using fluorescence and phosphorescence, which has favorable emission efficiency is provided. A light-emitting element which includes a light-emitting layer having a stacked-layer structure of a first light-emitting layer exhibiting light emission from a first exciplex and a second light-emitting layer exhibiting phosphorescence is provided.

Claims (47)

1. A light-emitting element comprising:

a first light-emitting layer between a first electrode and a second electrode; and

a second light-emitting layer in contact with the first light-emitting layer, the second light-emitting layer being between the first electrode and the second electrode;

wherein the first light-emitting layer includes a first organic compound and a second organic compound,

wherein the second light-emitting layer includes a third organic compound and a phosphorescent compound,

wherein each of a triplet excited level of the first organic compound and the second organic compound is higher than a triplet excited level of the phosphorescent compound,

wherein a combination of the first organic compound and the second organic compound forms a first exciplex,

wherein light emitted from the first light-emitting layer has an emission peak at 500 nm to 600 nm, and

wherein light emitted from the second light-emitting layer has an emission peak at 600 nm to 700 nm.

2. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the first light-emitting layer further includes a dopant.

3. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , wherein the dopant is a light-emitting substance.

4. A light-emitting module including the light-emitting element according to claim 1 , the light-emitting module comprising:

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

5. A display module including the light-emitting element according to claim 1 , in a display portion, the display module comprising:

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

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

7. A light-emitting device comprising:

the light-emitting element according to claim 1 ; and

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

8. A display device comprising:

the light-emitting element according to claim 1 in a display portion; and

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

9. An electronic appliance including the light-emitting element according to claim 1 .

10. A light-emitting element comprising:

a first light-emitting layer between a first electrode and a second electrode; and

a second light-emitting layer in contact with the first light-emitting layer, the second light-emitting layer being between the first electrode and the second electrode;

wherein the first light-emitting layer includes a first organic compound and a second organic compound,

wherein the first organic compound is a heterocyclic compound and the second organic compound is a compound having an aromatic amine skeleton or a carbazole skeleton,

wherein the second light-emitting layer includes a third organic compound and a phosphorescent compound,

wherein each of a triplet excited level of the first organic compound and the second organic compound is higher than a triplet excited level of the phosphorescent compound,

wherein a combination of the first organic compound and the second organic compound forms a first exciplex,

wherein light emitted from the first light-emitting layer has an emission peak at 500 nm to 600 nm, and

wherein light emitted from the second light-emitting layer has an emission peak at 600 nm to 700 nm.

11. The light-emitting element according to claim 10 , wherein the first light-emitting layer further includes a dopant.

12. The light-emitting element according to claim 11 , wherein the dopant is a light-emitting substance.

13. A light-emitting module including the light-emitting element according to claim 10 , the light-emitting module comprising:

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

14. A display module including the light-emitting element according to claim 10 in a display portion, the display module comprising:

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

15. A lighting device including the light-emitting element according to claim 10 .

16. A light-emitting device comprising:

the light-emitting element according to claim 10 ; and

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

17. A display device comprising:

the light-emitting element according to claim 10 in a display portion; and

a means for controlling the light-emitting element.

18. An electronic appliance including the light-emitting element according to claim 10 .
