Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite host materials comprising multiple compounds (formula 1 and formula 2) with different molecular structures and properties. This composite approach allows the system to achieve both high luminous efficiency and extended lifetime by combining the advantages of individual materials while mitigating their respective disadvantages, directly resolving the contradiction between efficiency and lifetime.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically varies molecular parameters such as substituent types (R1-R6, L1-L3), ring structures, and molecular weights of the host materials to optimize performance. By changing these chemical parameters, the invention achieves improved driving voltage and lifetime while maintaining high luminous efficiency, addressing the contradiction through parameter optimization.
