Organic electroluminescent element

An organic electroluminescent device, comprising:

• an anode and a cathode;
• and
• at least a first hole transport layer, a second hole transport layer, a blue light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer in this order from an anode side between the anode and the cathode, wherein
• at least one layer of the layers disposed between the first hole transport layer and the electron transport layer comprises an arylamine compound represented by the following general formula (1):
• in 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 condensed polycyclic aromatic group,
• L1 represents a divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon, a divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocycle, or a divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted condensed polycyclic aromatic,
• R1, R2, and R3 may be the same as or different from each other, and 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 a carbon number of 1 to 6 which may have a substituent, a cycloalkyl group having a carbon number of 5 to 10 which may have a substituent, a linear or branched alkenyl group having a carbon number of 2 to 6 which may have a substituent, a linear or branched alkyloxy group having a carbon number of 1 to 6 which may have a substituent, a cycloalkyloxy group having a carbon number of 5 to 10 which may have a substituent, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted condensed polycyclic aromatic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, and
• n represents an integer of 1 to 3,
• the blue light emitting layer comprises a blue light emitting dopant, and
• the blue light emitting dopant is a compound represented by the following general formula (2) or (3):
• in formulae (2) and (3), Q1 to Q3 may be the same as or different from each other, Q1 and Q3 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon or a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocycle and Q2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon,
• X represents B, P, P=O, or P=S,
• Y1 to Y3 may be the same as or different from each other, and are any one selected from N—R4, C—R5R6, O, S, Se, and Si—R7R8,
• R4 to R8 may be the same as or different from each other, and each represents 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 a carbon number of 1 to 6 which may have a substituent, a cycloalkyl group having a carbon number of 5 to 10 which may have a substituent, a linear or branched alkenyl group having a carbon number of 2 to 6 which may have a substituent, a linear or branched alkyloxy group having a carbon number of 1 to 6 which may have a substituent, a cycloalkyloxy group having a carbon number of 5 to 10 which may have a substituent, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group,
• R5 and R6, or R7 and R8 may be bonded to each other via a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group, an oxygen atom, or a sulfur atom to form a ring, and
• when Y1 and Y3 are N—R4, C—R5R6, or Si—R7R8, R4 to R8 may be bonded to adjacent Q1 to Q3 via a linking group of a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, or a monosubstituted amino group to form a ring.
