Current light-emitting elements, particularly organic electroluminescent (EL) devices, face limitations in achieving high reliability and efficient light emission due to the statistical generation ratio of singlet and triplet excited states, which affects their performance and color variability.
Innovation Solution
Development of novel benzofuropyrimidine and benzothienopyrimidine derivatives as organic compounds for use in the EL layer, these compounds are designed to enhance light-emitting properties by incorporating specific structural features such as unsubstituted phenyl groups and hole-transport properties, leading to improved light-emitting elements with enhanced reliability and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional organic compounds are used in light-emitting elements, then the device can operate with basic light emission, but the reliability and efficiency are limited due to statistical generation ratio of singlet and triplet excited states
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the molecular structure of organic compounds by introducing specific substituents (e.g., dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene, carbazole groups) at defined positions (R1-R6) to alter the electronic properties and excited state characteristics, thereby improving reliability and reducing energy loss
Solution Approach 2:
The invention employs composite organic compounds combining multiple functional moieties (electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups) within a single molecular structure to achieve both high reliability and efficient light emission by optimizing both singlet and triplet state utilization
2Adaptability or versatility
If different types of organic compounds are used to achieve various emission colors, then color diversity is improved, but the efficiency and reliability vary across different compounds
Solution Approach 1:
The patent develops a universal molecular framework (with positions R1-R6 for substitution) that can accommodate various substituent groups to produce different emission colors while maintaining consistent high reliability and efficiency across all color variants through the core structural design
3Productivity
If the EL layer structure is improved to enhance light emission, then luminance efficiency is improved, but the complexity of device fabrication increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and isolates the critical light-emitting function into a single optimized organic compound molecule, eliminating the need for complex multi-layer EL structures by achieving high efficiency through molecular design rather than structural complexity
