Abstract: Provided is a novel organic compound or a light-emitting element material. The organic compound includes an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 100 carbon atoms in the 5-position of benzo[a]carbazole and an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms in the 11-position thereof. The light-emitting element material includes the organic compound.

Abstract: A light-emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an EL layer positioned therebetween is provided. The EL layer includes a stack of a hole-injection layer, a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer; the hole-injection layer includes an organic acceptor; the first layer, the second layer and the third layer include first, second and third hole-transport materials, respectively; and the fourth layer includes a host material and a light-emitting material; the HOMO level of the second hole-transport material is deeper than that of the first hole-transport material; the HOMO level of the host material is deeper than that of the second hole-transport material; the HOMO level of the third hole-transport material is deeper than or equal to that of the host material; and a HOMO level difference between the second and third hole-transport materials is less than or equal to 0.3 eV.

Abstract: In an organic compound, two groups each including a benzonaphthofuranylamine skeleton are bonded to a central skeleton including a fluorene skeleton. The organic compound emits favorable blue light. Furthermore, the organic compound has a high hole-transport property.
