Benefits of technology

[0008]It is one object of the present invention to provide an anthracene derivative applicable to a light-emitting element or a light-emitting device utilizing electroluminescence and enables blue light emission. Further, it is also one object of the present invention to improve the color purity of the blue light emission.
[0042]The anthracene derivatives of the present invention are preferable as host materials of a light-emitting layer of a light-emitting element. That is, a light-emitting material having a smaller band gap than any of the anthracene derivatives of the present invention (hereinafter the light-emitting material is referred to as a dopant) is added into a layer made of the anthracene derivative of the present invention so that light emission from the dopant can be obtained. At this time, since the anthracene derivative of the present invention has an extremely large band gap, light emission from the dopant can be obtained efficiently instead of light emission from the anthracene derivative of the present invention even in the case of using a dopant emitting light of a relatively short wavelength. Specifically, a light-emitting material having light emission maximum in around 450 nm of the wavelength, which provides high blue color purity, is used as a dopant so that a light-emitting element capable of blue light emission with high color purity can be obtained.
[0043]Alternatively, any of the anthracene derivatives of the present invention is added into a layer made of a material having a larger band gap than the anthracene derivative of the present invention (hereinafter the material is referred to as a host) to manufacture a light-emitting element so that light emission from the anthracene derivative of the present invention can be obtained. That is, the anthracene derivatives of the present invention also functions as a dopant. At this time, since the anthracene derivative of the present invention has an extremely large band gap and provides light emission of a short wavelength, a light-emitting element capable of blue light emission with high blue color purity can be manufactured.
[0044]The anthracene derivatives of the present invention each emit light efficiently. With any of the anthracene derivatives of the present invention, a light-emitting element with high emission efficiency can be provided.
[0045]With the light-emitting element of the present invention, a light-emitting device and an electronic device each with high blue color purity can be provided. Further, a light-emitting device and an electronic device each with high emission efficiency and less power consumption can be provided.
