Abstract

A novel organic compound with which the emission characteristics, emission efficiency, and reliability of a light-emitting element can be improved is provided. The organic compound has an imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine skeleton and a dibenzothiophene skeleton or a dibenzofuran skeleton bonded through an arylene group. The light-emitting element including the organic compound in a light-emitting layer shows high efficiency and low power consumption.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an organic compound and a light-emitting element including the organic compound. The present invention also relates to a light-emitting device, an electronic device, and a lighting device each including the light-emitting element.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In recent years, research and development have been extensively conducted on light-emitting elements using electroluminescence (EL). In a basic structure of such a light-emitting element, a layer containing a light-emitting substance is interposed between a pair of electrodes. By applying voltage to this element, light can be emitted from the light-emitting substance.[0005]Such a light-emitting element is a self-luminous element and has advantages over liquid crystal displays, such as high visibility of pixels and no need of a backlight; thus, such a light-emitting element is thought to be suitable as a flat panel dis...
