Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If phosphorescent materials are used in OLED devices, then internal electroluminescent quantum efficiency is improved to almost 100%, but luminous efficiency rapidly decreases with increase of current or brightness, resulting in roll-off effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the molecular structure parameters of the emitting material by introducing a boron-nitrogen compound with specific molecular orbitals and energy levels. This structural parameter change enables the material to maintain high luminous efficiency at high currents by modifying the exciton recombination characteristics and reducing the roll-off effect inherent in phosphorescent materials.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a composite material approach by combining the boron-nitrogen compound with appropriate host materials and device structures. This composite system leverages the unique properties of the boron-nitrogen compound (high triplet energy, favorable HOMO-LUMO levels) to achieve both high efficiency and high brightness stability.
2Loss of energy
If thermal activation delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials are used as blue light-emitting materials, then luminous efficiency is improved to be comparable to phosphorescent OLED devices, but there is still certain disparity in luminous efficiency, life, and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the energy level parameters and molecular structure of TADF materials by introducing the boron-nitrogen compound. This changes the triplet energy (T1) to be higher than the singlet energy (S1), enabling efficient reverse intersystem crossing and improving both luminous efficiency and device lifetime while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
3Loss of energy
If existing blue light-emitting TADF materials are used, then luminous efficiency is improved, but manufacturing cost and device life are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the synthetic approach by using the boron-nitrogen compound as a key building block that can be integrated into existing TADF material synthesis routes. This parameter change in the molecular structure enables cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high luminous efficiency and long device life.
