1. An organic electroluminescent device, comprising:
an anode; a hole transporting area; an emissive layer; an electron transporting area, and a cathode, which are stacked in this order,
wherein the emissive layer includes a host,
wherein the electron transporting area includes a first layer and a second layer, and
wherein the first layer of the electron transporting area, which is in contact with the emissive layer, is an exciton confinement layer, and a density of states for LUMO (DOSLUMOECL) of the exciton confinement layer satisfies at least one or more of the following conditions (i) and (ii):
(i) the density of states for LUMO (DOSLUMOECL) of the exciton confinement layer having a DOS that overlaps more than 0% of a density of states for LUMO (DOSLUMOHOST) of the host; and
(ii) the density of states for LUMO (DOSLUMOECL) of the exciton confinement layer having a DOS that overlaps more than 0% of a density of states for LUMO (DOSLUMOET) of the second layer of the electron transporting area except the exciton confinement layer,
wherein the exciton confinement layer comprises at least one EWG moiety of a 6-membered moiety represented by the following Formula 1; a 5-membered moiety represented by the following Formula 2; or a polycyclic moiety in which the 6-membered moiety and the 5-membered moiety are condensed,
