An organic electroluminescent element, comprising organic layers between an anode layer and a cathode layer laminated on a substrate, wherein at least one of the organic layers contains a cured product obtained by curing a curable composition containing 5 to 100 mol% of a compound represented by the general formula and 0 to 95 mol% of a compound represented by the general formula with respect to a total number of moles of the compound represented by the general formula and the compound represented by the general formula defined as 100: Z-Y 2 -W 2 in the formula, a ring A represents a heterocycle represented by the formula, the heterocycle being condensed with an adjacent ring at an arbitrary position, R's each represent a hydrogen atom, a C 1 to C 20 alkyl group, a C 1 to C 20 alkoxy group, a C 6 to C 30 aryl group, a C 6 to C 30 aryloxy group, a C 7 to C 36 arylalkyl group, a C 7 to C 36 arylalkyloxy group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryl group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryloxy group, a C 4 to C 36 heteroarylalkyl group, a C 4 to C 36 heteroarylalkyloxy group, or a C 3 to C 30 cycloalkyl group, and may be identical to or different from one another, Y 1 's each represent a divalent group and may be identical to or different from each other, and W 1 's each independently represent a radically polymerizable or cationically polymerizable group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, a substituted vinyl group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an epoxy group, and an oxetanyl group, and may be identical to or different from each other; and in the formula, Z represents a C 6 to C 30 aryl group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryl group, or a C 12 to C 60 diarylamino group, Y 2 represents a divalent group, and W 2 independently represents a radically polymerizable or cationically polymerizable group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, a substituted vinyl group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an epoxy group, and an oxetanyl group. in the formula, a ring A represents a heterocycle represented by the formula, the heterocycle being condensed with an adjacent ring at an arbitrary position, R's each represent a hydrogen atom, a C 1 to C 20 alkyl group, a C 1 to C 20 alkoxy group, a C 6 to C 30 aryl group, a C 6 to C 30 aryloxy group, a C 7 to C 36 arylalkyl group, a C 7 to C 36 arylalkyloxy group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryl group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryloxy group, a C 4 to C 36 heteroarylalkyl group, a C 4 to C 36 heteroarylalkyloxy group, or a C 3 to C 30 cycloalkyl group, and may be identical to or different from one another, Y 1 's each represent a divalent group and may be identical to or different from each other, and W 1 's each independently represent a radically polymerizable or cationically polymerizable group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, a substituted vinyl group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an epoxy group, and an oxetanyl group, and may be identical to or different from each other; and in the formula, Z represents a C 6 to C 30 aryl group, a C 3 to C 30 heteroaryl group, or a C 12 to C 60 diarylamino group, Y 2 represents a divalent group, and W 2 independently represents a radically polymerizable or cationically polymerizable group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, a substituted vinyl group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an epoxy group, and an oxetanyl group.
