Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of the organic materials by introducing specific compounds with Formula 1 and Formula 2, which have optimized molecular structures including arylene groups, heteroarylene groups, and specific substituent patterns. These parameter changes in molecular structure lead to improved charge transport properties and lower driving voltage while maintaining device reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite organic material systems comprising multiple layers with different functional compounds (Formula 1 and Formula 2 compounds in different layers), creating a composite material structure that optimizes both voltage characteristics and overall device performance through synergistic effects of different materials

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If the organic material layer uses standard multi-layer structure, then device stability is maintained, but efficiency is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different functional compounds to different layers within the organic material structure. Formula 1 compounds are used in specific layers while Formula 2 compounds are used in other layers, with each layer optimized for its specific function (hole injection, electron injection, light emission), thereby improving overall efficiency while maintaining structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The organic material layer is segmented into multiple functional layers, each containing specific compounds (Formula 1 or Formula 2). This segmentation allows independent optimization of each layer's properties for its specific function, improving overall device efficiency while maintaining the stability of the multi-layer composition structure
