Abstract
In an organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention, at least a carrier transporting layer and a luminescent layer using an organic material are laminated between a hole injection electrode and an electron injection electrode, and a chelate compound, indicated by the following chemical formula, having as a ligand a heterocyclic compound is contained in at least one of the carrier transporting layer and the luminescent layer: ##STR1## In the foregoing chemical formula, X and Z are any elements selected from C, S, Se, Te, N and P, Y is any one element selecting from C, N and P, (A1) is an aromatic radical or a heterocyclic radical in which a hydroxyl group is bound to the Y in an ortho position, and (A2) is a radical which is bound to carbon to which the X is bound and carbon to which the Z is bound to constitute an aromatic compound or a heterocyclic compound.
