Abstract: To provide a practically useful organic electroluminescent device (organic EL device) which is driven at a low voltage and which has high efficiency and lifetime characteristics. The organic EL device is an organic EL device including a light-emitting layer between an anode and a cathode opposite to each other, in which at least one such a light-emitting layer contains a first host selected from a carbazole compound having a structure in which three or more of carbazole rings are linked to one another, a second host selected from an indolocarbazole compound having a structure in which an indolocarbazole ring is substituted with a nitrogen-containing 6-membered ring group, and a light-emitting dopant material.
