An organic electroluminescent includes an organic layer with a total thickness of 150 nm or over is included between an anode and a cathode. The organic layer includes a light-emitting layer containing a host material of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound with a basic skeleton having three to seven ring members, and hole supply layers arranged between the anode and the light-emitting layer and having a smaller thickness than a thickness of the light-emitting layer.
