According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an organic electroluminescent device for emitting red light having an organic layer that includes a light-emitting layer and is provided between an anode and a cathode. The light-emitting layer contains a red light-emitting guest material and a host material that is composed of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound having a skeleton with four- to seven-membered rings. Furthermore, a light-enhancing layer that contains a light-emitting guest material for generating light having a wavelength shorter than that of light emitted by the light-emitting layer is provided adjacent to the light-emitting layer. |
