Abstract

A novel light-emitting element is provided. A light-emitting element with a long lifetime is provided. A light-emitting element with high emission efficiency is provided. In the light-emitting element, an EL layer includes a hole-injection layer, a first hole-transport layer, a second hole-transport layer, a third hole-transport layer, a light-emitting layer, a first electron-transport layer, and a second electron-transport layer in this order; the hole-injection layer includes an organic acceptor; the LUMO level of the host material is higher than that of the first electron-transport layer; the LUMO level of the second electron-transport layer is higher than that of the first electron-transport layer; the host material is a substance including a condensed aromatic ring skeleton; and the first and second electron-transport layers each include a substance having a heteroaromatic ring skeleton.

Claims (22)

1 . A compound comprising:

a naphthalene group having a first substituent and a second substituent,

wherein each of the first substituent and the second substituent comprises a 9-phenylcarbazole group,

wherein the compound has a hole-transport property, and

wherein the compound is used in a first layer being in contact with a light-emitting layer comprising a first compound comprising an anthracene skeleton.

2 . The compound according to claim 1 , wherein the first compound is a host material.

3 . The compound according to claim 1 , wherein a HOMO level of the compound is deeper than or equal to a HOMO level of the first compound.

4 . The compound according to claim 1 , wherein the first substituent and the second substituent have the same structure.

5 . The compound according to claim 1 , wherein the compound does not include amine.

6 . A light-emitting device comprising:

a hole-transport layer comprising a first compound; and

a light-emitting layer comprising a second compound,

wherein the first compound has a naphthalene group having a first substituent and a second substituent,

wherein each of the first substituent and the second substituent comprises a 9-phenylcarbazole group,

wherein the second compound has an anthracene skeleton, and

wherein the hole-transport layer is in contact with the light-emitting layer.

7 . The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein the second compound is a host material.

8 . The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein a HOMO level of the first compound is deeper than or equal to a HOMO level of the second compound.

9 . The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein the first substituent and the second substituent have the same structure.

10 . The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein the first compound does not include amine.

11 . An electronic device comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 6 .

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