1Use of energy by moving object
If conventional organic electroluminescence materials are used, then the device can operate, but the emission efficiency is insufficient and triplet state energy is not effectively utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the molecular structure parameters of organic electroluminescence materials by introducing specific heteroatom substitutions (B, Al, Ga, In) and heteroatomic groups (NR1, O, S, P(=O)R2, P(=S)R3) in the fused polycyclic compound structure. These parameter changes optimize the triplet state energy levels and facilitate triplet-triplet annihilation, thereby improving emission efficiency and reducing triplet state energy loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite material design by combining the fused polycyclic compound (Formula 1) with aromatic hydrocarbon rings (Cy1-Cy3) and heteroaryl groups in a specific molecular architecture. This composite structure integrates multiple functional moieties that work synergistically to enhance delayed fluorescence emission and improve overall emission efficiency while effectively utilizing triplet state energy.
2Ease of manufacture
If the device structure is simplified, then manufacturing is easier, but emission efficiency and stability are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex fused polycyclic compound structure into modular components: a core fused polycyclic framework (Formula 1) with substitutable positions for Cy1-Cy3 aromatic rings and heteroaryl groups. This segmentation allows systematic synthesis through modular assembly, simplifying manufacturing while maintaining the complex electronic structure necessary for high emission stability and efficiency.
3Power
If driving voltage is reduced, then power consumption decreases, but emission efficiency and device lifespan are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the energy level parameters of the organic electroluminescence material by optimizing the HOMO-LUMO gap and triplet state energy levels through the fused polycyclic compound structure. This enables efficient electron-hole recombination at lower driving voltages while maintaining high emission efficiency through enhanced delayed fluorescence and triplet state utilization.
