A light-emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode on the first electrode, and an emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode is provided. The light-emitting layer includes a fused polycyclic compound having a pentacyclic core that includes three aromatic rings fused by one boron and two nitrogen atoms. A first substituent that excludes hydrogen and deuterium is connected to the pentacyclic core at an ortho-position of the boron.
