  • Publication number: 20220069246
    Abstract: A light-emitting device having a long lifetime is provided. In a light-emitting device that includes an EL layer between a pair of electrodes, the carrier balance is controlled with a hole-injection layer and an electron-transport layer of the EL layer having certain structures, so that the carrier balance spontaneously changes during driving and the initial degradation of the light-emitting device is inhibited. In addition, at this time, the rate of the spontaneous change is low when an electron-injection barrier at the interface between a light-emitting layer and the electron-transport layer of the EL layer which are stacked is high; thus, it is possible to obtain a light-emitting device which is excellent in terms of long-term degradation.
