Abstract

Abstract An organic EL element comprises a cathode, an EL layer of organic compound, a first hole transport layer of organic compound, a second hole transport layer of organic compound and an anode which are laminated in sequence, wherein the second hole transport layer is made of a substance represented by the following chemical formula 1: ##STR1## where R each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a halogen group, a cyano group, a nitro group, a primary, secondary or tertiary amino group, or an aryl group of from 6 to 15 carbon atoms. This organic EL element prevents a leakage current and emits light stably for a long time.
