a first electrode;

a second electrode opposite the first electrode; and

a plurality of organic layers between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein at least one organic layer among the plurality of organic layers comprises an amine compound,

the amine compound is a monoamine compound comprising a single amine group, the amine group being an aryl amine group and three aromatic ring substituents substituted at the amine group, and

the three aromatic ring substituents comprise a carbazole group, and a benzo[b]fluorenyl group.

2. The organic electroluminescence device of claim 1 , wherein the carbazole group and the benzo[b]fluorenyl group are each bonded to the amine group via a linker, or directly to the amine group.

3. The organic electroluminescence device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of organic layers comprise:

a hole transport region on the first electrode;

an emission layer on the hole transport region; and

an electron transport region on the emission layer, and
