Abstract

A highly efficient light-emitting element capable of providing a plurality of emission colors is provided, which does not easily deteriorate and can minimize a decrease in external quantum efficiency even when a light-emitting layer has a stacked structure. A light-emitting device, an electronic device, and a lighting device which have low power consumption and long lifetime are provided. A light-emitting element includes a plurality of light-emitting layers stacked between a pair of electrodes. The light-emitting layers each contain a host material and a guest material. The guest materials of the light-emitting layers are substances which have different HOMO levels but have substantially the same LUMO levels and emit light of different colors. A light-emitting device, an electronic device, and a lighting device are fabricated using the light-emitting element.

Claims (17)
