An organic electroluminescence element and manufacturing method thereof including an anode, semiconductor layer, organic light-emitting medium, and a cathode, wherein an organic light-emitting medium is located between the first electrode and the semiconductor layer including the non-monocrystal material and the second electrode is electrically connected to the edge section of the semiconductor layer when either one of the anode or cathode is designated as first electrode and the other electrode as second electrode. Because the first electrode and the second electrode are configured not to be opposite to each other, various electrode materials can be used, and the light-emitting area can be increased, and therefore, the organic EL element with the luminous energy emitted to the outside and a manufacturing method thereof can efficiently obtain such an organic EL element.
