Organic electroluminescent device

An organic electroluminescent device having at least an anode, a first hole transport layer, a second hole transport layer, a luminous layer, an electron transport layer, and a cathode in this order, wherein

• the second hole transport layer contains an arylamine compound represented by the following general formula (1), and
• the electron transport layer contains a pyrimidine derivative represented by the following general formula (2):
• where
• Ar1 to Ar4 may be identical or different, and each represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, or a condensed polycyclic aromatic group, and
• n1 denotes an integer of 1 to 4;
• where
• Ar5 and Ar6 may be identical or different, and each represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, or a condensed polycyclic aromatic group,
• Ar7 represents a hydrogen atom, an aromatic hydrocarbon group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, or a condensed polycyclic aromatic group,
• A1 and A2 may be identical or different, and each represents a divalent group of an aromatic hydrocarbon, or a divalent group of a condensed polycyclic aromatic,
• A3 represents a divalent group of an aromatic hydrocarbon, a divalent group of a condensed polycyclic aromatic, or a single bond, and
• B represents an aromatic heterocyclic group.
