Abstract

Provided is a light-emitting device including: a first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode; and an interlayer between the first electrode and the second electrode and including an emission layer. The emission layer includes: a first emission layer including a first host; and a second emission layer including a second host, wherein a triplet energy (T1 H1 ) of the first host and a triplet energy (T1 H2 ) of the second host satisfy Equation (1): T 1 H1 −T 1 H2 ≥0.2 eV  (1).
