Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light-emitting element with improved emission efficiency is provided. The light-emitting element includes a light-emitting layer in which a first light-emitting layer and a second light-emitting layer are stacked in contact with each other over an anode, and a first substance serving as an emission center substance in the second light-emitting layer is the same as a main substance in the first light-emitting layer. Note that a second substance is added to the first light-emitting layer for stabilization of film quality, and a third substance serving as a host material to disperse the first substance serving as an emission center substance is included in the second light-emitting layer. In the light-emitting element, the second substance and the third substance are substances having energy gaps (or triplet energy) larger than the first substance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A light-emitting element comprising: an anode; a hole-transporting layer over the anode; a first light-emitting layer over and in direct contact with the hole-transporting layer, the first light-emitting layer comprising a first substance and a second substance; a second light-emitting layer over and in direct contact with the first light-emitting layer, the second light-emitting layer comprising the first substance and a third substance; and a catho…
