Solution Overview

Problem

There is a continuing need for electroluminescent compounds that emit blue light, as existing organic electroluminescent materials do not adequately achieve the desired color gamut for display applications.

Innovation Solution

The development of chrysene compounds with specific structural modifications, such as meta-substituted phenyl rings on amino nitrogens, which exhibit deep blue emission with color coordinates of x≦0.145 and y≦0.14, are used in the active layer of organic electronic devices to enhance light emission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing organic electroluminescent materials are used, then device structure and operation are simple, but color gamut and emission wavelength range are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor gamutVSAvoidcompound structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically modifying molecular parameters of chrysene compounds - specifically substituting at different positions (6,12 or 1,5) with various aryl groups (naphthyl, phenyl, carbazolyl) and adjusting substituent patterns to achieve different emission wavelengths and color coordinates, thereby expanding color gamut while maintaining manageable structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material principles by creating chrysene compounds with multiple functional groups combined in specific configurations - merging electron-donating aryl groups with electron-withdrawing groups, and combining multiple substituents on the chrysene core to achieve desired optoelectronic properties and deep blue emission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Illumination intensity

If blue-emitting compounds are developed to improve color gamut, then emission wavelength and color coordinates improve, but compound stability and lifetime may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemission wavelengthVSAvoidcompound lifetime
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by placing specific functional groups at strategically chosen positions on the chrysene core - substituting aryl groups at 6,12-positions or 1,5-positions, and positioning electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups to create localized electronic distributions that promote deep blue emission while maintaining overall molecular stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potential harm of highly conjugated structures (which can reduce stability) into benefit by using the extended conjugation in chrysene derivatives to achieve deep blue emission, while compensating for stability concerns through careful selection of substituents and molecular architecture that prevent degradation pathways

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
