1Reliability
If conventional host materials are used in the emission layer, then the device structure is simple, but the driving voltage is high, efficiency is low, and lifespan is short
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of the host material by introducing specific functional groups (carbazole, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene) and adjusting molecular weight and glass transition temperature parameters to achieve both long lifespan and acceptable structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite host materials combining multiple functional groups and molecular structures to achieve synergistic effects that improve lifespan while maintaining reasonable structural complexity
2Power
If conventional host materials are used in the emission layer, then the material composition is simple, but the driving voltage is high and efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies host material parameters including HOMO/LUMO energy levels, molecular weight, and glass transition temperature to optimize charge transport and reduce driving voltage while controlling compositional complexity
3Productivity
