Solution Approach 1:

The emission layer employs a composite material system consisting of a host compound (Formula HT or ET) and a dopant compound (Formula 1) in specific weight ratios (0.1-10 wt% dopant). This composite structure enables synergistic effects where the host provides structural stability and the dopant enhances emission properties, achieving both extended lifetime and maintained emission efficiency through material composition optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The invention optimizes critical parameters including the weight ratio of dopant to host (0.1-10 wt%), the molecular structure parameters of Formula 1 compounds (substituents R1-R7, ring structures), and the HOMO/LUMO energy level parameters. These parameter adjustments fine-tune the emission characteristics and stability, resolving the contradiction between lifetime and emission efficiency by finding optimal parameter ranges

If phosphorescence emission or TADF materials are used to increase emission efficiency, then light output improves, but element lifetime decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemission efficiencyVSAvoidelement lifetime
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies local quality optimization by designing the dopant compound (Formula 1) with specific local molecular structures (substituents R1-R7 at specific positions) that concentrate emission enhancement properties in the dopant molecules while the host molecules maintain structural stability. This localized functional differentiation allows TADF emission efficiency improvement without compromising overall device lifetime

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The host compound (Formula HT or ET) acts as an intermediary between the dopant and the electrical excitation source. It receives electrical energy, undergoes triplet-triplet annihilation to generate singlet excitons, and transfers energy to the dopant for delayed fluorescence emission. This intermediary mechanism enables efficient emission while protecting the dopant from direct electrical stress, extending element lifetime

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
