Abstract

To provide a light-emitting device not only including a light-emitting layer in which energy is efficiently transferred from a host material to a guest material but also having high reliability. In the light-emitting device, the light-emitting layer includes an organic compound having a specific naphthofuropyrazine skeleton as a host material and a light-emitting substance (e.g., an organometallic complex) whose T1 level (T G ) is within a certain range as a guest material, thereby increasing not only the efficiency of energy transfer from the host material to the guest material but also the reliability.
