ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT

Provided is an organic EL element having a low driving voltage, high power efficiency, and long life characteristics. The organic EL element includes one or more light-emitting layers between an anode and a cathode facing each other, and at least one of the light-emitting layers contains a host material including a first host material, a second host material, and a third host material, and a light-emitting dopant material. The LUMO energy of the first host material is-1.95 eV or less, and when the LUMO energy of the first host material, the LUMO energy of the second host material, and the LUMO energy of the third host material are LM1, LM2, and LM3, respectively, LM2 > = LM3 > = LM1 is satisfied. An indolocarbazole compound represented by general formula (1) is suitable as a first host material, a bicarbazole compound represented by general formula (2) is suitable as a second host material, or the like, and an indolocarbazole compound represented by general formula (5) is suitable as a third host material. 本发
