Provided are: an organic EL element which has practically satisfactory emission characteristics, driving voltage and durability; and a compound for organic EL elements, which is used in the organic EL element.nAn organic EL element which is obtained by laminating, on a substrate, a positive electrode, a plurality of organic layers including a light emitting layer, and a negative electrode. This organic EL element is characterized in that at least one organic layer, which is selected from among the light emitting layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, a hole blocking layer and an electron blocking layer, contains a boron compound that has two indolocarbazolyl groups in each molecule. This boron compound is represented by Y-L-B(A)a-L-Y or Y-L(Z)b-Y. In this connection, Y represents an indolocarbazolyl group; L represents an aromatic group; and Z represents a boron-containing group. |
