Abstract

An organic electroluminescent device of which emission life may be improved. The organic electroluminescent device includes an anode, an emission layer, and an anode-side hole transport layer provided between the anode and the emission layer and including an anode-side hole transport material. An electron accepting material is doped in the anode-side hole transport layer. An intermediate hole transport material layer is provided between the anode-side hole transport layer and the emission layer and includes an intermediate hole transport material, and an emission layer-side hole transport layer is provided between the intermediate hole transport material layer and the emission layer and adjacent to the emission layer. The emission layer-side hole transport layer includes an emission layer-side hole transport material represented by the following Formula 1.

wherein in Formula 1, Y is O or S;
R 1 to R 6 are each independently hydrogen, deuterium, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted silyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms for forming a ring, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms for forming a ring, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group formed via condensation of optional adjacent substituents;
Ar 1 and Ar 2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms for forming a ring, and each of Ar 1 and Ar 2 is not a heteroaryl-containing group;
