An organic electroluminescent element (organic EL element) having a simple structure while improving light emitting efficiency of the element and sufficiently securing drive stability is provided. The organic EL device of the present invention is an organic electroluminescent device having a light emitting layer between an anode and a cathode stacked on a substrate, wherein the light emitting layer contains a phosphorescent dopant and a carbazole compound substituted by 1,9- Emitting layer. As the 1,9-position substituted carbazole compound, a compound represented by the following formula (1) is exemplified. In the formula (1), Ar represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group, L represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group, and R 1 to R 3 represent hydrogen, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group And n represents an integer of 1 to 3. |
