Abstract

A light-emitting element containing a fluorescent material and having high emission efficiency is provided. The light-emitting element contains the fluorescent material and a host material. The host material contains a first organic compound and a second organic compound. The first organic compound and the second organic compound can form an exciplex. The proportion of a delayed fluorescence component in light emitted from the exciplex is higher than or equal to 5%, and the delayed fluorescence component contains a delayed fluorescence component whose fluorescence lifetime is 10 ns or longer and 50 μs or shorter.

First claim

wherein the first organic compound is capable of forming an exciplex with the second organic compound,
wherein emission of the exciplex includes a delayed fluorescence component,
wherein a proportion of the delayed fluorescence component is higher than or equal to 5% in the emission of the exciplex,
wherein the delayed fluorescence component includes a first delayed fluorescence component, and
wherein lifetime of the first delayed fluorescence component is 10 ns or longer and 50 ps or shorter, and
wherein a weight ratio of the fluorescent material to the host material is greater than or equal to 0.001 and less than or equal to 0.05.

2. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the exciplex is capable of transferring excited energy to the fluorescent material.

3. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein an emission spectrum of the exciplex comprises a region overlapping with an absorption band on the lowest energy side of the fluorescent material.

4. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first organic compound has an electron transporting property, and
