Abstract

An organic electroluminescent element having an organic light-emitting layer between an anode and a cathode is provided, wherein the organic light-emitting layer comprises, as an organic light-emitting layer forming material, a fluorescent material comprising either one or both of a perylene compound having a specific chemical structure and an anthanthrene compound having a specific chemical structure. A fluorescent material that emits red light with a high color purity and a high luminous efficiency-when used singly or as a guest, an organic EL element having a high luminous efficiency, and a high-performance organic EL display having a high luminous efficiency are realized.
