Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the organic materials by introducing specific molecular structures with electron-donating groups (such as carbazole, triphen胺) and electron-withdrawing groups (such as pyridine, pyrimidine). This parameter change in molecular structure leads to improved efficiency and lifetime characteristics without fundamentally changing the device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite organic materials that combine electron-donating and electron-withdrawing moieties within the same molecular structure. This composite approach creates materials with balanced electron and hole transport properties, simultaneously improving efficiency and device lifetime.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Power

If conventional organic materials are used in organic light emitting devices, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the driving voltage is high

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the electronic parameters of organic materials through strategic molecular design, incorporating heteroatoms (N, O, S) and functional groups that adjust HOMO-LUMO energy levels. This parameter optimization enables lower driving voltage while maintaining compatibility with conventional vacuum deposition manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If new organic materials are developed to improve efficiency and lifetime, then the material structure becomes complex, but this may increase manufacturing difficulty

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelifetime characteristicsVSAvoidmanufacturing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex organic material into distinct functional modules: electron-donating units (carbazole, triphen胺), electron-withdrawing units (pyridine, pyrimidine), and linking groups. This segmentation allows systematic design and synthesis while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs organic materials with multi-functional moieties that simultaneously provide hole transport, electron transport, and exciton management capabilities. This universality reduces the need for multiple separate layers, simplifying the overall manufacturing process despite the advanced material functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
