1Productivity

If phenylenediamine structures and aromatic diamine derivatives are used in hole injection and transport layers, then the basic functionality of light-emitting devices is maintained, but luminescence efficiency and lifespan are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminescence efficiencyVSAvoidlifespan
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of hole transport materials by introducing a specific phenyl ring structure with three amine groups (where at least one amine group is a substituted amine group containing electron-donating groups). This structural parameter change optimizes charge transport properties and enhances luminescence efficiency while improving device lifespan through better material stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material design by combining multiple functional groups within the hole transport layer material molecule itself - specifically integrating phenyl rings, multiple amine groups (primary, secondary, and tertiary), and electron-donating groups (such as carbazole, indole, or dibenzofuran). This molecular-level composite structure enables simultaneous optimization of charge transport, luminescence, and device stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If conventional hole transport materials are used, then device structure remains simple, but luminescence efficiency is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminescence efficiencyVSAvoidmolecular structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the molecular structure into distinct functional modules: a phenyl ring core, multiple amine groups at specific positions, and electron-donating substituent groups. This segmentation allows systematic optimization of each functional unit's contribution to luminescence efficiency while maintaining reasonable molecular complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hole transport layer material molecule performs multiple functions simultaneously: it transports holes through the phenyl ring and amine groups, provides luminescence enhancement through the electron-donating groups, and ensures device stability through the overall molecular structure. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized materials, balancing performance improvement with structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
