Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If conventional absorption filters are used to produce saturated colors from white backlight, then color saturation can be achieved, but device complexity and manufacturing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the absorption filter component from the display system by using organic electroluminescent materials that directly emit saturated colors. The organic emitter materials replace the conventional approach of using white backlight plus absorption filters, thereby removing the filtering layer and simplifying the device structure while maintaining color saturation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the emission parameters of the organic electroluminescent materials to achieve saturated color emission directly. By optimizing the molecular structure and emission characteristics of the organic emitters, the system produces saturated red, green, and blue colors without requiring external filters, thus reducing device complexity.
2Productivity
If organic electroluminescent materials with specific ligands are used, then color emission efficiency improves, but material synthesis complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by designing specific ligand structures (Formula I and Formula II) with particular heterocyclic rings positioned at specific locations in the molecular structure. These localized structural features enable the organic electroluminescent materials to achieve saturated color emission with high efficiency, as the heterocyclic rings provide specific electronic properties that enhance emission characteristics.
