The present invention is to provide an organic EL element which can secure the durability by which to endure the pulse driving and which has an excellent heat resistance. In an organic electroluminescence element in which a luminous layer and a hole injection layer are formed between an anode and a cathode, the hole injection layer is formed using an oligomer having a phenylenediamine structure and having a glass transition temperature of 110° C. or more, and an intermediate layer is formed between the hole injection layer and the anode to inhibit a chemical reaction in an interface between the anode and the hole injection layer. Consequently, it is possible to remarkably improve the heat resistance of the element, to secure the excellent durability capable of enduring severe driving conditions, and to realize the prolongation of life of the element.
