A polymeric fluorescent substance having visible fluorescence in a solid state and a polystyrene-reduced number-average molecular weight of 103 to 107, which contains at least one repeating unit represented by the following formula (1), —Ar1—CR1═CR2— (1) wherein the sum of the repeating unit is from 10 to 100 mol % of the total number of the repeating units, Ar1 represents an arylene group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms taking part in conjugated bonds and containing at least one substituent represented by the following formula (2) as a nuclear substituent, or a heterocyclic compound group, having 4 to 20 carbon atoms taking part in conjugated bonds, and containing at least one substituent represented by the following formula (2) as a nuclear substituent; and R1 and R2 independently represent a group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, a heterocyclic compound group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms and a cyano group, —(X)m—(CH2)n—Ar2 (2) wherein Ar2 represents a group selected from the group consisting of an aryl group and having 4 to 20 carbon atoms taking part in conjugated bonds, a heterocyclic compound group, having 4 to 20 carbon atoms taking part in the conjugated bonds, and an aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon compound group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms constituting the ring; X represents O or S; m represents 0 or 1; and n represents an integer of 2 to 10. The polymeric fluorescent substance is excellent as a material for organic EL devices because of strong fluorescence and good thermal stability. Furthermore, an organic EL device using the polymeric fluorescent substance can be preferably used as a flat light source for back light or a device such as a flat panel display and the like because it is easily produced and exhibits excellent light emitting characteristics and a heat resistance.
A polymeric fluorescent substance having visible fluorescence in a solid state and a polystyrene-reduced number-average molecular weight of 103 to 107, which contains at least one repeating unit represented by the following formula (1) and at least another repeating unit represented by the following formula (3), wherein the sum of the repeating unit represented by the formula (1) is from 5 to 95 mol % of the total number of the repeating units, the sum of the repeating unit represented by the formula (1) and the repeating unit represented by the formula (3) is from 50 to 100 mol % of the total number of the repeating units, and a molar ratio of the sum of the repeating unit represented by the formula (1) to the sum of the repeating unit represented by the formula (3) is from 20:1 to 1:19
