Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies molecular parameters of the hole transport layer material by introducing specific substituents (electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups) on the carbazole core structure. This changes the HOMO energy level and hole mobility parameters of the material, enabling simultaneous improvement in device efficiency and service life by optimizing the balance between charge transport and exciton management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite molecular structures combining carbazole core with various functional substituents (aryl groups, heteroaryl groups, alkyl groups) to create materials that exhibit synergistic properties. The composite structure allows the material to simultaneously achieve high hole mobility for efficiency and appropriate energy levels for improved device reliability and service life.

Inventive Principle:
