Abstract

A composite material including an organic compound and an inorganic compound and having a high carrier-transport property is provided. A composite material having a high carrier-injection property to an organic compound is provided. A composite material in which light absorption due to charge transfer interaction is unlikely to occur is provided. A light-emitting element having high emission efficiency is provided by including the composite material. A light-emitting element having a low drive voltage is provided. A light-emitting element having a long lifetime is provided. A composite material including a heterocyclic compound having a dibenzothiophene skeleton or a dibenzofuran skeleton and an inorganic compound exhibiting an electron-accepting property with respect to the heterocyclic compound is provided.

Claims (34)

1. A light-emitting element comprising:

a pair of electrodes;

a light-emitting layer between the pair of electrodes; and

a layer including a composite material between the light-emitting layer and one of the pair of electrodes,

wherein the composite material comprising:

a heterocyclic compound represented by a general formula (G1):

and

a transition metal oxide,

wherein the transition metal oxide is molybdenum oxide,

wherein A represents sulfur,

wherein R 1 to R 7 separately represent one of hydrogen, an alkyl group comprising 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and an aryl group comprising 6 to 25 carbon atoms in a ring,

wherein R 8 , R 9 , R 11 and R 12 represent hydrogen, and

wherein R 10 represents a substituted or unsubstituted fluorenyl group.

2. A light-emitting element comprising:

a pair of electrodes;

a light-emitting layer between the pair of electrodes; and

a layer including a composite material between the light-emitting layer and one of the pair of electrodes,

wherein the composite material comprising:

a heterocyclic compound represented by a general formula (G1):

and

a transition metal oxide,

wherein the transition metal oxide is vanadium oxide or molybdenum oxide,

wherein A represents one of oxygen and sulfur,

wherein R 1 to R 7 separately represent one of hydrogen, an alkyl group comprising 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and an aryl group comprising 6 to 25 carbon atoms in a ring,

wherein R 8 , R 9 , R 11 and R 12 represent hydrogen, and

wherein R 10 represents a substituted or unsubstituted fluorenyl group.

3. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the heterocyclic compound has a dibenzothiophene skeleton.

4. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the layer is in contact with the one of the pair of electrodes.

5. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 or 2 , further comprising:

a second light-emitting layer between the other of the pair of electrodes and the light-emitting layer; and

a second layer including the composite material between the light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer.

6. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the heterocyclic compound and the transition metal oxide are mixed.

7. A light-emitting device comprising the light-emitting element according to claim 1 or 2 .

8. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein an absorption of the composite material at the visible light region is lower than that of the heterocyclic compound.
