Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional organic electroluminescence materials are used, then the device can achieve basic light emission, but the luminous efficiency and service life are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies molecular parameters of the organic compounds by introducing specific fused polycyclic structures (triphenylene, triindole, triindolenine cores) and varying substituent groups (Formula 1 parameters: X1, Y1, R1-R3, Ra-Rj, n1-n3). These parameter changes optimize the HOMO-LUMO energy levels, triplet energy levels, and molecular packing characteristics, thereby simultaneously improving luminous efficiency and device service life through enhanced material stability and reduced exciton quenching
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite material strategies by combining fused polycyclic compounds with specific substituents (Formulas HT-1 and ET-1) to create emission layers with optimized properties. The composite structure integrates rigid fused polycyclic cores with flexible substituent groups, achieving a balance between molecular stability for long service life and efficient charge transport for high luminous efficiency
2Use of energy by moving object
If driving voltage is reduced for energy efficiency, then power consumption decreases, but maintaining high luminous efficiency becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the energy level parameters of the organic compounds by adjusting the fused polycyclic core structures and substituent groups (Formula 1: X1-Y1-R1-R3-Ra-Rj-n1-n2-n3). This enables tuning of the HOMO-LUMO gap and triplet energy levels to achieve low driving voltage operation while maintaining high luminous efficiency through efficient electroluminescence mechanisms including phosphorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)
