Function Achieved in This Case
The use of the condensed cyclic compound improves the luminance, driving voltage, and response speed of light-emitting devices, leading to enhanced performance and stability.
Implementation Method 1
Holes provided from the first electrode move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. The excitons may transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.
