Solution Overview

Problem

Existing organic light-emitting elements struggle to reproduce the chromaticity coordinates (0.71, 0.29) for red color in the BT-2020 color reproduction range, necessitating a compound that emits red light at a longer wavelength with improved light emission efficiency and durability.

Innovation Solution

An organic compound with a specific molecular structure, represented by formula [1], is synthesized, featuring a deep red emission wavelength, low oxidation potential for chemical stability, and a basic skeleton with extended conjugation and steric distortion to suppress crystallinity and enhance sublimation stability, allowing for high light emission efficiency and durability in organic light-emitting elements.
