Disclosed is a light-emitting element which includes a first light-emitting layer over and in contact with a hole-transport layer and a second light-emitting layer over and in contact with the first light-emitting layer. The first and the second light-emitting layers contain a bipolar host material and an emissive guest material. The guest material in the first light-emitting layer has a lower ability for capturing a hole than a guest material in the second light-emitting layer; therefore, the hole-transport property of the first light-emitting layer can be controlled to be higher than that of the second light-emitting layer. The difference in hole-transport property between the first and second light-emitting layers allows a recombination region to be widely spread in the light-emitting layers. An anti-reducing material may be provided in the hole-transport layer, which prevents the hole-transport layer from being reduced by electrons which fail to undergo recombination in the light-emitting layers.
