Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the molecular structure parameters of light-emitting materials by incorporating specific heterocyclic groups (such as triazole, tetrazole, oxadiazole, thiadiazole rings) and amino groups at defined positions (Ar1, Ar2, or Ar3 in the general formula). These structural parameter changes optimize electron-hole recombination efficiency and exciton management, thereby simultaneously improving luminous efficiency and device lifespan.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite light-emitting materials by combining heterocyclic groups with amino groups in a specific molecular architecture (general formula (1)). This composite structure leverages the electron-withdrawing properties of heterocyclic groups and the electron-donating properties of amino groups to achieve balanced charge transport and enhanced luminescence efficiency, resolving the contradiction between efficiency and reliability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs light-emitting materials with multi-functional heterocyclic groups that can simultaneously perform multiple functions: electron transport, hole transport, and luminescence emission. This multi-functionality allows a single material layer to achieve performance benefits previously requiring multiple specialized layers, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining enhanced service life.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality modification by specifically positioning heterocyclic groups and amino groups at particular locations (Ar1, Ar2, or Ar3) in the molecular structure. This localized structural optimization targets the light-emitting center to enhance radiative recombination efficiency specifically, thereby improving luminous efficiency without compromising the overall simplicity and synthesizability of the material system.
