Abstract: [Object] It is an object of the present invention to provide an organic compound having excellent properties such as excellent hole injection/transport performance, electron blocking performance, high stability in a thin-film state, and high light emission efficiency as a material for a highly efficient organic EL device having a high durability, and a highly efficient organic EL device having a high durability by using this compound. 
     [Solving Means] An organic EL device, including, between an anode and a cathode, at least a first hole transport layer, a second hole transport layer, a green light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer in the stated order from a side of the anode, the organic EL device being characterized in that the second hole transport layer, or at least one of stacked films disposed between the first hole transport layer and the electron transport layer contains a compound having an indenocarbazole ring structure, the compound being represented by the following general formula (1).
     
     
(In the formula, A represents a divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon, a divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocycle, or a divalent group of a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic. Ar 1 , Ar 2 , and Ar 3  may be the same as or different from each other, and each represent a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic group. Here, A and Ar 2  or Ar 2  and Ar 3  may form a ring with a single bond or may be bonded to each other via a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group, an oxygen atom, or a sulfur atom to form a ring. R 1  to R 9  may be the same as or different from each other, each represent a hydrogen atom, a deuterium atom, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a cyano group, a nitro group, a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a linear or branched alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a linear or branched alkyloxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a cycloalkyloxy group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, and may form a ring with a single bond or may be bonded to each other via a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group, an oxygen atom, or a sulfur atom to form a ring. R 10  and R 11  may be the same as or different from each other, each represent a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a linear or branched alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a linear or branched alkyloxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group., a cycloalkyloxy group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituted group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, and may form a ring with a single bond or may be bonded to each other via a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group, an oxygen atom, or a sulfur atom to form a ring.)
