Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of bicarbazole compounds by introducing specific substituents (such as triphenylamine groups, carbazole groups, and dibenzofuran groups) at defined positions (R1-R6) to optimize the host material's properties. This structural parameter change enhances both emission efficiency and element lifetime by improving carrier transport and reducing degradation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces different functional groups at specific positions (R1-R6) of the bicarbazole skeleton to create local functional zones. Electron-transporting groups are placed at electron-deficient regions while hole-transporting groups are placed at electron-rich regions, creating localized charge transport pathways that reduce overall driving voltage without sacrificing emission efficiency
