Light-emitting element, display device, electronic device, and light device each including TADF organic compound
A light-emitting element having high emission efficiency is provided. The light-emitting element includes a first organic compound, a second organic compound, and a third organic compound. The first organic compound has a function of converting triplet excitation energy into light emission. The second organic compound is preferably a TADF material. The third organic compound is a fluorescent compound. Light emitted from the light-emitting element is obtained from the third organic compound. Triplet excitation energy in a light-emitting layer is transferred to the third organic compound by reverse intersystem crossing caused by the second organic compound or through the first organic compound.
