  • Patent number: 8911882
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel organic compound having excellent heat resistance. By using the novel organic compound, a light-emitting element and a light-emitting device which have excellent heat resistance can be provided. A stilbene derivative expressed by the general formula (1) is provided. Since the stilbene derivative expressed by the general formula (1) has high glass transition point, when it is used for a light-emitting element, the light-emitting element, and a light-emitting device using the light-emitting element which have excellent heat resistance can be obtained. Further, since the stilbene derivative expressed by the general formula (1) has good light emission efficiency; therefore, when it is used for a light emitting element, a light emitting element and a light emitting device which consumes less power can be obtained.
