  • Patent number: 10522302
    Abstract: To provide a flexible, highly reliable power storage device or light-emitting device. The device includes a battery unit or a light-emitting unit and a member with rubber elasticity. The battery unit includes a secondary battery. The light-emitting unit includes a light-emitting element. The member with rubber elasticity is provided with a first projection and a second projection. The first projection and the second projection are arranged on a first surface of the battery unit or the light-emitting unit. The first projection and the second projection come in contact with each other when the power storage device is bent such that the first surface of the battery unit faces inward.

  • Publication number: 20190319211
    Abstract: An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a multicolor light-emitting element that utilizes fluorescence and phosphorescence and is advantageous for practical application. The light-emitting element has a stacked-layer structure of a first light-emitting layer containing a host material and a fluorescent substance, a separation layer containing a substance having a hole-transport property and a substance having an electron-transport property, and a second light-emitting layer containing two kinds of organic compounds that form an exciplex and a substance that can convert triplet excitation energy into luminescence. Note that a light-emitting element in which light emitted from the first light-emitting layer has an emission spectrum peak on the shorter wavelength side than an emission spectrum peak of the second light-emitting layer is more effective.
