Having a HOMO energy level of the second host material higher than a HOMO energy level of the first host material by greater than Δ0.2 eV or higher by less than Δ0.1 eV is disadvantageous in terms of current efficiency and/or a lifetime.
In the present specification, an “electron donor” is a side giving electrons when exchanging electron between atoms, molecules or ions.
In the present specification, an “electron acceptor” is a side receiving electrons from the other side when exchanging electron between atoms, molecules or ions.
In the present specification, a description of a certain part “comprising” certain constituents means capable of further including other constituents, and does not exclude other constituents unless particularly stated on the contrary.
In the present specification, a description of a certain member being placed “on” another member includes not only a case of the one member adjoining the another member but a case of still another member being present between the two members.
Examples of substituents in the present specification will be described below, however, the substituents are not limited thereto.
In the present specification, the term “substitution” in the present specification means a hydrogen atom bonding to a carbon atom of a compound is changed to another substituent, and the position of substitution is not limited as long as it is a position at which the hydrogen atom is substituted, that is, a position at which a substituent can substitute, and when two or more substituents substitute, the two or more substituents may be the same as or different from each other.
