Abstract

Provided is a novel light-emitting element, a light-emitting element with a long lifetime, or a light-emitting element with high emission efficiency. The light-emitting element includes an EL layer between a pair of electrodes. The EL layer includes at least a light-emitting layer containing a fluorescent substance and a host material, a first electron-transport layer containing a first electron-transport material, and a second electron-transport layer containing a second electron-transport material, which are in contact with each other and in this order. The LUMO level of each of the host material and the second electron-transport material is higher than the LUMO level of the first electron-transport material.

Claims (30)

1. A light-emitting element comprising:

an anode, a cathode, and an electroluminescence layer between the anode and the cathode,

wherein the electroluminescence layer comprises a light-emitting layer, a first electron-transport layer, and a second electron-transport layer,

wherein the first electron-transport layer is positioned between the light-emitting layer and the second electron-transport layer,

wherein the light-emitting layer comprises a region in contact with the first electron-transport layer,

wherein the second electron-transport layer comprises a region in contact with the first electron-transport layer,

wherein the light-emitting layer comprises a fluorescent substance and a host material,

wherein the first electron-transport layer comprises a first material,

wherein the second electron-transport layer comprises a second material,

wherein a LUMO level of the host material is higher than a LUMO level of the first material,

wherein a LUMO level of the second material is higher than the LUMO level of the first material,

wherein the host material is a substance having an anthracene skeleton,
