1Power
If conventional host materials are used in green-emission OLEDs, then device structure is simple, but driving voltage is high and luminous efficiency is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite host material system consisting of TCTA as the primary host and a secondary host material (such as mCP, TAPC, or TAPB) to achieve optimal device performance. This composite approach enables low driving voltage (below 5V) and high luminous efficiency (above 50 cd/A) by combining the advantages of different host materials, specifically utilizing TCTA's high hole mobility and appropriate LUMO level alongside the secondary host's complementary properties.

If conventional host materials are used in green-emission OLEDs, then material selection is simple, but lifespan is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes a composite host material system with TCTA and a secondary host material to achieve extended device lifespan (L50 > 1000 hours at 1000 cd/m²). This combination optimizes both stability and performance by leveraging TCTA's appropriate energy levels and the secondary host's complementary characteristics, creating a synergistic effect that enhances overall device durability.
