1Device complexity

If conventional organic materials are used for hole injection, transport, and light emission, then the device structure can be simplified, but the efficiency, color purity, and stability of the device are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The chrysene derivative compound is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it serves as a hole injection material, hole transport material, and light emitting material in the organic light emitting device. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate materials for each function, simplifying the device structure while maintaining or improving efficiency and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite molecular structure based on chrysene core with specific substituent groups (such as triphenylamine, carbazole, or indole groups) to create a material that combines the properties of different functional materials. This composite structure enables the single compound to exhibit hole injection, hole transport, and light emission capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The chrysene derivative is designed to function as both the host material and the light emitting material (dopant) simultaneously. By incorporating specific functional groups on the chrysene core, the compound achieves high emission efficiency and color purity without requiring separate host and dopant materials, thus simplifying the device structure while maintaining manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
