The present invention provides a novel material capable of realizing
excellent color purity of blue, a light-emitting element and a
light-emitting device using the novel material. The present invention
provides an oligonaphthalene derivative represented by the formula (1).
The oligonaphthalene derivatives of the present invention have an
extremely large band gap, can emit light with extremely short wavelength,
and can emit blue light with favorable color purity. In addition, a
light-emitting element that can exhibit excellent color purity of blue
can be obtained by applying this material to the light-emitting element
or a light-emitting device; therefore the light-emitting element having
superior color reproducibility can be provided.
