Organic electroluminescent device using hole-injectable, light-emitting material

An organic electroluminescent device comprising at least an anode, an organic light-emitting zone which consists of one or more than one organic thin-film layers and a cathode as elements, wherein said organic light-emitting zone is adjacent to the anode, and a layer contacting with the anode in the light-emitting zone contains, either singly or as a mixture, a compound represented by the following formula [1]:

• wherein Ar1 represents a bivalent group consisting of an unsubstituted naphthalene skeleton, Ar2 represents a styryl-phenyl group shown by general formula [2] below, Ar3 and Ar4 each represent a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group whose carbon number is 6 through 20 that does not have a styryl substitution group, and Ar5 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group whose carbon number is 6 through 20, wherein substituent groups of Ar3, Ar4 and Ar5 are an alkyl group having 1-6 carbons, an alkoxy group having 1-6 carbons, an aryl group having 6-18 carbons, an aralkyl group having 7-8 carbons, an aryloxy group having 6-18 carbons, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group (excluding a diarylamino group), a hydroxyl group, a cyano group, and a nitro group, and wherein the Ar5 substituent groups also include a styryl group;
• wherein R1 to R11 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group (excluding a diarylamino group), a hydroxyl group, a cyano group, a nitro group, an alkyl group having 1-6 carbons, an alkoxy group having 1-6 carbons, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having carbons and a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group having 6-18 carbons.
