[Object] It is an object of the present invention to provide an
organic compound having excellent properties such as excellent hole injection / transport performance,
electron blocking performance, high stability in a thin-film state, and high
light emission efficiency as a material for a highly efficient organic EL device having a high durability, and a highly efficient organic EL device having a high durability by using this compound.[Solving Means] An organic EL device, including, between an
anode and a
cathode, at least a first
hole transport layer, a second
hole transport layer, a
green light-emitting layer, and an
electron transport layer in the stated order from a side of the
anode, the organic EL device being characterized in that, the second
hole transport layer, or at least one of stacked films disposed between the first hole
transport layer and the
electron transport layer contains an arylamine compound represented by the following general formula (1).(In the formula, Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 may be the same as or different from each other, and each represent a substituted or unsubstituted
aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic group. L1 represents a
divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted
aromatic hydrocarbon, a
divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic, or a
divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic. R1, R2, and R3 each represent a
hydrogen atom, a
deuterium atom, a
fluorine atom, a
chlorine atom, a cyano group, a nitro group, a linear or branched
alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a linear or branched alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a linear or branched alkyloxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a cycloalkyloxy group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a substituted or unsubstituted
aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group. n represents an integer of 1 to 3.)
