ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT

摘要

Disclosed is an organic electroluminescent device (organic EL device) that is improved in luminous efficiency, sufficiently secures driving stability, and has a simple configuration. This organic EL device has a light-emitting layer between an anode and a cathode piled one upon another on a substrate and the said light-emitting layer contains a fused polycyclic compound in which seven or more rings are fused together as a host material. The aforementioned fused polycyclic compound has a structure formed by fusing two or more indole rings to a carbazole ring. A specific example thereof is the compound represented by the following formula.
