Solution Overview

Problem

Current organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) face challenges in achieving high luminous efficiency and long luminous lifespan due to the limitations of existing fluorescent and phosphorescent materials, particularly the short lifespan of metal complexes used in phosphorescent materials.

Innovation Solution

An organic compound with a specific structure, including a carbazolyl moiety linked to a triazine moiety fused with alicyclic or hetero alicyclic rings, is developed. This compound enhances electron donor properties, allows for exciton generation through both Intersystem Crossing (ISC) and Reverse Intersystem Crossing (RISC), and includes a blocking moiety to maintain high triplet energy levels and bipolar properties, improving luminous efficiency and stability.
