Light-emitting element
First Claim
1. A light-emitting element comprising:
- a pair of electrodes; and
a light-emitting layer comprising a phosphorescent compound, a first organic compound, and a second organic compound between the pair of electrodes,wherein the first organic compound and the second organic compound are selected so as to form an exciplex,wherein an emission spectrum of the exciplex overlaps with a longest wavelength side absorption band in an absorption spectrum of the phosphorescent compound, andwherein a difference between an energy value of a peak of the emission spectrum of the exciplex and an energy value of a peak of the longest wavelength side absorption band in the absorption spectrum of the phosphorescent compound is 0.3 eV or less.

Abstract
A light-emitting element having high external quantum efficiency is provided. A light-emitting element having a long lifetime is provided. A light-emitting element is provided which includes a light-emitting layer containing a phosphorescent compound, a first organic compound, and a second organic compound between a pair of electrodes, in which a combination of the first organic compound and the second organic compound forms an exciplex (excited complex). The light-emitting element transfers energy by utilizing an overlap between the emission spectrum of the exciplex and the absorption spectrum of the phosphorescent compound and thus has high energy transfer efficiency. Therefore, a light-emitting element having high external quantum efficiency can be obtained.
