Abstract

A light-emitting element emitting phosphorescence and having high emission efficiency, in which a property of injecting holes to a light-emitting layer is increased, is provided. The light-emitting layer of the light-emitting element includes a first organic compound represented by the following general formula (G1) and a second organic compound which is a phosphorescent compound. The difference between the HOMO level of the first organic compound and the HOMO level of the second organic compound is lower than or equal to 0.3 eV.

Claims (28)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a pair of electrodes; and

a layer between the pair of electrodes, the layer comprising a compound represented by a formula (G1) and a phosphorescent compound,

wherein:

a difference between a HOMO level of the compound and a HOMO level of the phosphorescent compound is lower than or equal to 0.3 eV,

α 1 to α 3 independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted phenylene group or a substituted or unsubstituted biphenyldiyl group,

Ar 1 to Ar 3 independently represent any of a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyridyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyrimidyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted fluorenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted triphenylenyl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted phenanthrenyl group, and

l, m and n are independently 0 or 1.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the compound is represented by any one of the structural formulae (100), (104), and (108)

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the phosphorescent compound is an organometallic complex.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the phosphorescent compound comprises iridium.

5. An electronic device comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 1 .

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

7. A light-emitting device comprising:

a pair of electrodes;

a first layer between the pair of electrodes, the first layer comprising a first compound represented by a formula (G1); and

a second layer in contact with the first layer, the second layer comprising a second compound represented by the formula (G1) and a phosphorescent compound,

wherein:

a difference between a HOMO level of the second compound and a HOMO level of the phosphorescent compound is lower than or equal to 0.3 eV,

α 1 to α 3 independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted phenylene group or a substituted or unsubstituted biphenyldiyl group,

Ar 1 to Ar 3 independently represent any of a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyridyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyrimidyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted fluorenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted triphenylenyl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted phenanthrenyl group, and

l, m and n are independently 0 or 1.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the first compound is different from the second compound.

9. The light-emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first compound and the second compound is represented by any one of the structural formulae (100), (104), and (108)

10. The light-emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the phosphorescent compound is an organometallic complex.

11. The light-emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the phosphorescent compound comprises iridium.

12. An electronic device comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 7 .

13. A lighting device comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 7 .
