Abstract

An organic electroluminescent device comprises: a pair of electrodes; and at least one organic compound layer therebetween, the at least one organic compound layer comprises at least a light-emitting layer, wherein at least one of the at least one organic compound layer comprises at least one compound represented by formula (1): Formula (1): wherein Q 1 to Q 4 each independently represents an atomic group for forming an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring in combination with two carbon atoms in formula (1); A 1 and A 2 each independently represents a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom; and Q 5 and Q 6 each independently represents an atomic group for forming an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring in combination with A 1 and A 2 respectively, provided that Q 5 and Q 6 are not combined through a single bond, a divalent aromatic hydrocarbon ring group or a divalent aromatic heterocyclic ring group.

Claims (33)
