Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the molecular structure of organic electroluminescent compounds through specific substitution patterns (R1-R10 groups) and core structures (Formula 1 and Formula 2). This structural parameter optimization enables the compound to achieve both high luminous efficiency and improved device stability with extended lifespan exceeding 1000 hours at 80% initial luminance

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by combining the newly synthesized organic electroluminescent compounds (Formulas 1 and 2) with other functional materials in multi-layer OLED structures. The device includes hole injection layer, hole transport layer, light-emitting layer, electron transport layer, and electron injection layer, where the novel compounds are integrated into specific layers to achieve synergistic performance improvement

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes molecular parameters by systematically varying substituent groups (R1-R10) and core structures in Formulas 1 and 2. This parameter optimization achieves low driving voltage (below 5V) and high power efficiency while maintaining reasonable structural complexity that can be synthesized and integrated into OLED devices

Inventive Principle:

3Ease of manufacture

If existing OLED structures are implemented, then manufacturing is straightforward, but luminous efficiency and lifespan cannot be simultaneously optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice fabrication simplicityVSAvoidlifespan and efficiency performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the OLED into distinct functional layers with the novel organic electroluminescent compounds specifically positioned in the light-emitting layer (and optionally hole transport layer). This segmentation allows each layer to be optimized independently while maintaining overall manufacturing feasibility through established vacuum deposition and solution processing techniques

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies material parameters by introducing compounds with specific molecular weights, HOMO/LUMO energy levels, and steric configurations (Formulas 1 and 2). These parameter changes enable simultaneous achievement of high luminous efficiency, low driving voltage, and extended lifespan while maintaining compatibility with existing OLED manufacturing processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
