Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of the delayed fluorescent material by introducing specific substituents (cyano group, donor groups) and heteroaryl groups bonded via nitrogen atoms, which simultaneously improves light emission efficiency and device lifetime by optimizing the molecular properties for both performance and stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite molecular structure combining electron-accepting groups (cyano, triazinyl) with electron-donating groups (carbazol-9-yl) in a specific arrangement, forming a composite material that achieves synergistic effects for both high light emission efficiency and extended device lifetime

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Use of energy by moving object

If various delayed fluorescent materials are developed through trial and error, then some light emission improvement is achieved, but it is not easy to generalize the chemical structure

Engineering Contradiction:
