Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the molecular structure of organic electroluminescent device materials. Specifically, it introduces compounds with diamantane skeletons and various aromatic groups (such as phenyl, naphthyl, carbazole, and triphenylamine groups) to change the electronic and optical parameters of the material, thereby achieving lower drive voltage and higher luminous efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by combining diamantane core structures with multiple types of aromatic functional groups. The compound formulas show composite structures where diamantane is bonded with aromatic hydrocarbon groups, heteroaromatic groups, or their combinations, creating materials with optimized charge transport and light emission properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing materials are used, then manufacturing processes are simple and familiar, but the devices cannot meet expanding application requirements and environmental adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
