Solution Overview

Problem

Current organic EL displays face challenges in achieving high resistance, efficient light emission, favorable chromaticity, particularly blue light emission, and low power consumption, with existing materials lacking in reliability and emission efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Development of an organic compound with a naphthobisbenzofuran skeleton, incorporating substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon groups, dibenzofuranyl, dibenzothiophenyl, and carbazolyl groups, which enhances carrier-transport properties and emission efficiency, leading to improved light-emitting elements with favorable chromaticity and reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing organic EL materials are used, then device structure is simple, but emission efficiency and reliability are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemission efficiencyVSAvoidmaterial structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite material strategy by combining multiple functional groups (naphthobisbenzofuran skeleton, dibenzofuranyl, dibenzothiophenyl, carbazolyl groups) into a single organic compound. This composite molecular structure integrates carrier transport, light emission, and stability functions, thereby improving emission efficiency and reliability while avoiding the need for complex multi-layer device structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying molecular parameters such as introducing specific aromatic hydrocarbon groups with 6-25 carbon atoms, adjusting the number of dibenzofuranyl/dibenzothiophenyl/carbazolyl groups (q=1 or 2), and varying substituent positions (α1-α3). These parameter optimizations enhance carrier-transport properties and emission efficiency without fundamentally changing the device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Use of energy by moving object

If materials with high emission efficiency are developed, then power consumption is reduced, but material synthesis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidmaterial synthesis ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes synthesis ease by controlling molecular parameters within specific ranges: aromatic hydrocarbon groups with 6-25 carbon atoms (manageable synthesis scale), q=1 or 2 (limited number of functional groups), and systematic substituent positions. These parameter constraints balance emission efficiency improvement with synthetic feasibility, avoiding overly complex multi-step syntheses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Illumination intensity

If blue light emission with favorable chromaticity is achieved, then display quality is improved, but emission efficiency may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechromaticity qualityVSAvoidemission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality principle by strategically placing specific functional groups at specific positions within the molecular structure. The naphthobisbenzofuran skeleton provides the core chromaticity characteristics for blue light emission, while dibenzofuranyl, dibenzothiophenyl, and carbazolyl groups are positioned at specific locations (indicated by q=1 or 2 and positions α1-α3) to optimize both chromaticity and carrier transport for efficient emission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite material approach by integrating multiple functional moieties (naphthobisbenzofuran for chromaticity, carbazolyl/dibenzofuranyl/dibenzothiophenyl for carrier transport and stability) into a unified molecular structure. This composite design achieves favorable blue light chromaticity while maintaining high emission efficiency through synergistic functional group interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
