In a light-emitting element, an energy level difference between a second hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer on a side closer to the second hole transport layer is greater than an energy level difference between the light-emitting layer on the side closer to the second hole transport layer and a layer in contact with a side closer to a cathode electrode of the light-emitting layer on the side closer to the second hole transport layer in LUMO level, and an energy level difference between a first electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer on a side closer to the first electron transport layer is greater than an energy level difference between the light-emitting layer on the side closer to the first electron transport layer and a layer in contact with a side closer to an anode electrode of the light-emitting layer on the side closer to the first electron transport layer in HOMO level.
