  • Publication number: 20170155092
    Abstract: To provide a novel light-emitting device with high productivity, the light-emitting device includes a first light-emitting element, a second light-emitting element, and a third light-emitting element. In the first light-emitting element, a first lower electrode, a first transparent conductive layer, a first light-emitting layer, a second light-emitting layer, and an upper electrode are stacked in this order. In the second light-emitting element, a second lower electrode, a second transparent conductive layer, the first light-emitting layer, the second light-emitting layer, and the upper electrode are stacked in this order. In the third light-emitting element, a third lower electrode, a third transparent conductive layer, the second light-emitting layer, and the upper electrode are stacked in this order. The first transparent conductive layer includes a first region. The second transparent conductive layer includes a second region as thick as the third transparent conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 9666825
    Abstract: A light-emitting element with high reliability that can keep favorable characteristics after long-time driving is provided. In addition, a light-emitting device having a long lifetime including the light-emitting element is provided. Moreover, an electronic device and a lighting device having a long lifetime are provided. In a light-emitting element including an EL layer between a pair of electrodes, a light-emitting layer included in the EL layer has a stacked-layer structure which is different from the conventional structure, whereby the light-emitting element can keep favorable characteristics after long-time driving even in the case where carrier balance is changed over time due to driving of the light-emitting element or a light-emitting region is shifted due to the change.
