Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a novel compound with a specific molecular structure comprising a core aromatic hydrocarbon framework substituted with electron-donating groups (such as carbazole, triphen胺, or indole moieties) and electron-withdrawing groups (such as fluorinated aromatic rings or cyano groups). This composite molecular design combines multiple functional groups into a single material that simultaneously improves efficiency and lifetime characteristics, resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically modifies molecular parameters including substituent types, substituent positions, and molecular weight ranges to optimize device performance. By changing the chemical structure parameters of the organic material, the invention achieves both high efficiency and improved lifetime characteristics without sacrificing one for the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Power

If conventional organic materials are used, then manufacturing is easier, but driving voltage remains high

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The molecular structure is segmented into distinct functional domains: a core aromatic hydrocarbon framework (such as fluorene, indene, or cyclopentadiene derivatives) that provides structural stability, electron-donating substituents that facilitate charge injection and transport, and electron-withdrawing substituents that enhance electron mobility. This segmentation allows each part to contribute specifically to reducing driving voltage while maintaining ease of manufacture through modular synthesis approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If existing organic materials are used, then device structure is simpler, but efficiency and performance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
