An organic light-emitting device has light emission with high efficiency, high luminance and good color purity, and durability. An organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode and an organic compound layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein at least one layer of the organic compound layer includes at least one kind of the benzoindenochrysene compound represented by the general formula [1] in which X 1 to X 16 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a nitro group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted amino group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group. |
