Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of the fluorene compound by introducing specific substituents (R1 and R2 as aryl, heterocyclic, or amino groups; n1 as 1-14 repeating units with specific Ar1 groups) to optimize the composition's light emission efficiency while maintaining compatibility with existing phosphorescent compounds like Ir(ppy)3

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite material system combining the specifically structured fluorene compound (Formula 1) with phosphorescent compounds to achieve synergistic effects that improve light emission efficiency beyond what either component can achieve alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Loss of energy

If the composition is optimized for light emission efficiency, then better performance is achieved, but the complexity of the compound structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission efficiencyVSAvoidcompound structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
