Organic electroluminescence element comprises a substrate (2), a pair of electrodes comprising an anode (3) and a cathode, which are located on the substrate, and at least one layer of organic layers comprising a light-emitting layer (6), which is arranged between the electrodes, where the organic layers have substituted anthracene compound (I). Organic electroluminescence element comprises a substrate, a pair of electrodes comprising an anode and a cathode, which are located on the substrate, and at least one layer of organic layers comprising a light-emitting layer, which is arranged between the electrodes, where the organic layers have substituted anthracene compound of formula (I). either R1-R18 : H or a substituent; or R1-R8, R10-R17 : -L-NR19R20; R19, R20 : alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl, where R19 and R20 are combined together to form a ring; L : a single bond (preferred) or a double bond; and X1, X18 : C (preferred) or N. provided that if X1-X18 = N, then R1-R18 are not available for binding.
