Provided is an excellent organic light emitting element having high emission efficiency and a low drive voltage. The organic light emitting element includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic compound layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, in which the organic compound layer includes a quinolino[3,2,1-kl]phenoxazine compound represented by the following general formula [1]: where R1 to R4 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R1 to R4 may be identical to or different from each other, and Ar represents a single bond or an oligophenylene group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms.
