    Abstract: To provide a light-emitting element or a light-emitting device in which power is not consumed wastefully even if a short-circuit failure occurs. The present invention focuses on heat generated due to a short-circuit failure which occurs in a light-emitting element. A fusible alloy which is melted at temperature T2 by heat generated due to the short-circuit failure when the short-circuit failure occurs is used for at least one of a pair of electrodes in a light-emitting element, and a layer containing an organic composition which is melted at temperature T1 is formed on a surface of the electrode opposite to a surface facing the other electrode. The present inventors have reached a structure in which the temperature T2 is lower than temperature T3 at which the light-emitting element is damaged and the temperature T1 is lower than the temperature T2, and this structure can achieve the objects.
