Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If phosphorescent materials are used to improve luminous efficiency, then luminous efficiency is improved, but thermal stability and service life need to be improved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical structure of organometallic iridium compounds by changing ligand parameters (Formula 1 and Formula 2 structures with various substituents R1-R10, Ra-Rg) to optimize the balance between luminous efficiency and thermal stability. This structural parameter adjustment allows the material to maintain high phosphorescent efficiency while improving thermal and electrochemical stability for longer device life
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses composite organometallic iridium compounds combining multiple ligand components (La, Lb, Lc) with specific structural formulas to create a material that integrates both high luminous efficiency and improved thermal stability. The composite structure with coordinated ligands provides synergistic effects that simultaneously achieve high quantum yield and enhanced reliability
2Use of energy by moving object
If phosphorescent materials are used to utilize triplet excitons, then luminous efficiency is improved, but color saturation needs to be improved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces specific local structural features in the ligand molecules (Formula 1 and Formula 2 with defined substituent positions and types) that locally enhance color saturation properties while maintaining the overall phosphorescent efficiency. The localized structural modifications affect the emission characteristics without compromising the triplet exciton utilization
Solution Approach 2:
By adjusting molecular parameters such as substituent types (halogen, alkyl, aryl groups at different positions) and structural configurations in the ligand formulas, the patent optimizes both the emission intensity and color saturation, achieving high luminous efficiency with improved color purity for display applications
