  • Patent number: 11997861
    Abstract: A light-emitting element having high emission efficiency which includes a fluorescent material as a light-emitting substance is provided. A light-emitting element includes a pair of electrodes and an EL layer between the pair of electrodes. The EL layer includes a light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer includes a host material and a guest material. The host material has a difference of more than 0 eV and less than or equal to 0.2 eV between a singlet excitation energy level and a triplet excitation energy level. The guest material is capable of emitting fluorescence. The triplet excitation energy level of the host material is higher than a triplet excitation energy level of the guest material.

  • Publication number: 20240164125
    Abstract: Emission efficiency of a light-emitting element is improved. The light-emitting element has a pair of electrodes and an EL layer between the pair of electrodes. The EL layer includes a first light-emitting layer and a second light-emitting layer. The first light-emitting layer includes a fluorescent material and a host material. The second light-emitting layer includes a phosphorescent material, a first organic compound, and a second organic compound. An emission spectrum of the second light-emitting layer has a peak in a yellow wavelength region. The first organic compound and the second organic compound form an exciplex.

  • Publication number: 20240164165
    Abstract: A multicolor light-emitting element that utilizes fluorescence and phosphorescence and is advantageous for practical application is provided. The light-emitting element has a stacked-layer structure of a first light-emitting layer containing a host material and a fluorescent substance and a second light-emitting layer containing two kinds of organic compounds and a substance that can convert triplet excitation energy into luminescence. Note that light emitted from the first light-emitting layer has an emission peak on the shorter wavelength side than light emitted from the second light-emitting layer.

  • Publication number: 20240164131
    Abstract: An object is to provide a light-emitting element which uses a plurality of kinds of light-emitting dopants and has high emission efficiency. In one embodiment of the present invention, a light-emitting device, a light-emitting module, a light-emitting display device, an electronic device, and a lighting device each having reduced power consumption by using the above light-emitting element are provided. Attention is paid to Förster mechanism, which is one of mechanisms of intermolecular energy transfer. Efficient energy transfer by Förster mechanism is achieved by making an emission wavelength of a molecule which donates energy overlap with the longest-wavelength-side local maximum peak of a graph obtained by multiplying an absorption spectrum of a molecule which receives energy by a wavelength raised to the fourth power.

  • Patent number: 11937439
    Abstract: A multicolor light-emitting element using fluorescence and phosphorescence, which has a small number of manufacturing steps owing to a relatively small number of layers to be formed and is advantageous for practical application can be provided. In addition, a multicolor light-emitting element using fluorescence and phosphorescence, which has favorable emission efficiency is provided. A light-emitting element which includes a light-emitting layer having a stacked-layer structure of a first light-emitting layer exhibiting light emission from a first exciplex and a second light-emitting layer exhibiting phosphorescence is provided.

  • Patent number: 11930653
    Abstract: A light-emitting device with high emission efficiency and reliability is provided. The light-emitting device includes a fluorescent light-emitting layer and a phosphorescent light-emitting layer. A host material used in the fluorescent light-emitting layer has a function of converting triplet excitation energy into light emission and a guest material used in the fluorescent light-emitting layer emits fluorescence. The guest material has a molecular structure including a luminophore and a protecting group, and one molecule of the guest material includes five or more protecting groups. The introduction of the protecting groups into the molecule inhibits transfer of triplet excitation energy from the host material to the guest material by the Dexter mechanism. An alkyl group or a branched-chain alkyl group is used as the protecting group.
