Abstract

An object is to provide a light-emitting element with high emission efficiency. The light-emitting element contains first to third organic compounds. The first organic compound has a function of converting triplet excitation energy into light. The second organic compound has a benzofuropyrimidine skeleton or a benzothienopyrimidine skeleton. The third organic compound is a fluorescent compound. Light emitted from the light-emitting element is light emitted from the third organic compound that receives excitation energy from the first organic compound or from an exciplex formed by the first and second organic compounds.
