Abstract

An organic electroluminescent element, which comprises: a pair of electrodes; and at least one organic layer comprising a light-emitting layer between the pair of electrodes, wherein the at least one organic layer comprises at least one of compounds represented by formula (I): (R 1 ) m -(A 1 ) n   (I) wherein R 1 represents a substituent; m represents an integer of 2 or more; n represents an integer of 1 or more; and A 1 represents a group selected from the group consisting of specific compounds, with the proviso that when m or n is 2 or more, a plurality of R 1 's or A 1 's may be the same or different.
