Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the molecular structure parameters of light-emitting materials by introducing benzophenanthrene derivatives with extended π-conjugated systems. This structural parameter change simultaneously improves stability, durability, and light-emitting efficiency, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent develops composite organic light-emitting materials combining benzophenanthrene derivatives with other functional groups and moieties. These composite materials achieve synergistic effects that improve both the stability/durability and the light-emitting efficiency, overcoming the limitations of conventional single-material systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If the π-conjugated system is extended to improve light-emitting efficiency, then electron mobility increases, but the molecular structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting efficiencyVSAvoidmolecular structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the molecular structure into modular units: a core benzophenanthrene unit with extended π-conjugation, and separately optimized functional groups. This segmentation allows the conjugated system to be extended for high efficiency while maintaining manageable structural complexity through systematic modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by concentrating the extended π-conjugation in specific regions (the benzophenanthrene core) while keeping other parts of the molecule with simpler structures. This localized approach to structural complexity achieves high light-emitting efficiency without requiring the entire molecular structure to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
