Abstract
An organic EL element has an anode, a cathode, and one or more organic compound layers sandwiched between the anode and cathode, wherein at least one layer of said organic compound layers includes an organic compound denoted by chemical formula (1), which is more specifically denoted by chemical formulas (2)-(5). By introducing desired substituents at R1-R4, these compounds can be made to demonstrate hole transport function, emissive function, electron transport function, or a combination of those functions. Due to its tendency to be structurally non-planar, the organic compound does not crystallize easily, and has a high glass transition temperature. Use of such a compound in an organic EL element enhances element life.
