Solution Approach 1:

The patent systematically varies structural parameters of compounds (such as substituent groups on the boron-nitrogen heterocyclic core) to establish structure-luminescence relationships. By changing parameters like the type of aromatic substituents (phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl groups) and their positions, the inventors optimize both color purity and luminous efficiency while understanding the structure-property relationships.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite light-emitting layers combining compounds of formula (1) with host materials and dopants. This composite approach allows the active compound to provide high color purity through its multiple resonance structure, while the host material facilitates charge transport and exciton management, resolving the complexity by dividing functional roles.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent assigns different functional properties to different parts of the device structure. The compound of formula (1) is placed in specific regions (emissive layers) where high color purity is needed, while host materials with appropriate LUMO/HOMO levels are selected for charge transport layers to optimize voltage. This local optimization allows simultaneous achievement of high luminous efficiency and low driving voltage by matching material properties to specific functional requirements.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes energy level parameters (LUMO and HOMO levels) of both the compound of formula (1) and the host materials to achieve favorable energy alignment. By adjusting these parameters through molecular design and material selection, the device achieves low driving voltage while maintaining high luminous efficiency, resolving the trade-off between these two critical performance parameters.
