Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the host and dopant materials into a single integrated emitting layer structure, where the host material (compound of Formula 1) and dopant material are mixed in specific ratios (1:4 to 4:1 weight ratios) to form a unified light-emitting system that achieves high color purity and luminous efficiency without requiring separate complex layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material systems by combining the host material (compound of Formula 1 with specific molecular weight and structure) with dopant materials having smaller energy band gaps, creating a composite emitting layer that leverages the complementary properties of both materials to achieve enhanced optical performance

Inventive Principle:
