1Use of energy by moving object
If phosphorescent heavy metal materials are used in OLEDs, then internal quantum efficiency can reach 100% and external quantum efficiency can be up to 20%, but triplet state-triplet state quenching and concentration quenching occur at high current densities leading to device degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a host-guest doping system where heavy metal phosphorescent materials are doped into suitable host materials. The host material acts as an intermediary that optimizes energy transfer and reduces triplet state-triplet state quenching and concentration quenching effects, thereby maintaining high external quantum efficiency while improving device stability and lifespan.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent develops novel phosphorescent host materials with optimized molecular structures and properties. By changing the parameters of the host material (such as molecular structure, energy levels, and doping concentration), the system achieves better energy transfer efficiency and reduced quenching effects, resolving the contradiction between efficiency and stability.
2Productivity
If heavy metal doping materials are used, then energy transfer is optimized and luminous efficiency is maximized, but it becomes difficult to develop alternative doping materials

AI summary
An organic compound can be applied as a host material for an OLED display device. The compound has a structure represented by Formula (I):a and b, being independently 1, 2 or 3, respectively represent the numbers of electron donor D and electron acceptor A; c and d, independently being 0, 1, or 2, respectively representing the numbers of group L1 and group L2. D, L1 and L2 are each alkyl, cycloalkylene, heterocyclic group, aryl, heteroaryl, fused aryl, or fused heteroaryl; and A is selected from nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituents, cyano-containing substituents, triaryl-boron-derived substituents, and phosphoxy-containing substituents. The compound has a D-(π)-σ-(π)-A structure with bipolarity, and the σ bond can interrupt an intramolecular charge transfer between D and A, so that the excited state is limited to a local excited state in moiety of D or A, and the compound has a small excited-state dipole moment.
