First Claim
1. A light-emitting element comprising:
- n (n is a natural number of two or more) EL layers between an anode and a cathode;
a first layer provided between an m-th (m is a natural number, 1≦
m≦
n−
1) EL layer and an (m+1)-th EL layer wherein the first layer contains one selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali metal compound, an alkaline earth metal compound, and a rare earth metal compound;
a second layer provided on the first layer and between the m-th EL layer and the (m+1)-th EL layer wherein the second layer contains a substance having high electron-transport properties; and
a charge-generation layer provided on the second layer and between the m-th EL layer and the (m+1)-th EL layer wherein the charge-generation layer contains a substance having high hole-transport properties and an acceptor substance,wherein the charge-generation layer does not have a peak of an absorption spectrum in a visible light region.

Abstract
A light-emitting element is provided, in which n (n is a natural number of two or more) EL layers are provided between an anode and a cathode. Between the m-th (in is a natural number, 1≦m≦n−1) EL layer and the (m+1)-th EL layer, a first layer containing any of an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali metal compound, an alkaline earth metal compound, and a rare earth metal compound, a second layer containing a substance having high electron-transport properties in contact with the first layer, and a charge-generation layer containing a substance having high hole-transport properties and an acceptor substance in contact with the second layer are provided in this order over the anode. The charge-generation layer does not have a peak of an absorption spectrum in a visible light region.
