Solution Approach 1:

The organic material layer is segmented into multiple functional sub-layers: hole injection layer, hole transporting layer, light emitting layer, electron transporting layer, and electron injection layer. Each layer uses specific compounds (Formulas 1-5) optimized for its function, resolving the contradiction by achieving reliable service life through specialized materials while managing complexity through functional segmentation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material structures where each organic layer combines specific compounds with defined molecular structures (Formulas 1-5). These composite materials provide synergistic effects that extend service life and improve efficiency, balancing the need for complex material composition with performance requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

Each organic material layer is designed with local quality - specific compounds (Formulas 1-5) are selected for each layer based on its specific function. The hole injection layer uses compounds optimized for hole injection, electron transporting layers use compounds optimized for electron transport, achieving high device efficiency through localized material optimization rather than uniform materials throughout.
