Provided is an organic light emitting device having a long continuous driving lifetime. The organic light emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic compound layer which is sandwiched between the anode and the cathode, in which: one of the anode and the cathode is transparent or semi-transparent; and the organic compound layer contains at least one kind of triazine compound represented by the following general formula (1): ArT)n  (1) where n represents an integer of 1 or 2; Ar represents a fused polycyclic aromatic group which has three or more rings and may have a substituent; and T represents a triazine group represented by the following general formula (2): where R1 and R2 each represent a phenyl group or a phenyl group substituted by an alkyl group and may be identical to or different from each other.
