An anthracene derivative represented by general formula (1) is provided. In the formula, Ar1, Ar3, Ar5, and Ar6 independently represent an aryl group having 6 to 13 carbon atoms, Ar2 and Ar4 independently represent an arylene group having 6 to 13 carbon atoms, and R1 to R8 independently represent hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Ar1 to Ar6 may independently have a substituent. When Ar1 to Ar6 independently have two or more substituents, the substituents may be bonded to each other to form a ring. When a carbon atom of Ar1 to Ar6 has two substituents, the substituents may be bonded to each other to form a spiro ring.
