Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite materials by combining a host material (compound 1 or 2) with a dopant material (compound 3-60) to create a light-emitting layer with superior luminescent properties. The host-guest composite system enables efficient energy transfer from host to dopant, achieving high power efficiency and luminance while maintaining device stability through the synergistic combination of materials with complementary properties.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying the molecular structure parameters of the organic compounds, including substituting different aromatic groups (phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl), adjusting substituent positions, and modifying molecular weights. These parameter changes optimize the energy levels, HOMO-LUMO gaps, and thermal stability of the materials, thereby improving both luminescent efficiency and device reliability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing specific functional groups and substituents at targeted positions within the molecular structure. For example, electron-donating groups (alkyl, alkoxy) are placed at specific positions to modulate HOMO levels, while electron-withdrawing groups are positioned to adjust LUMO levels. This localized modification approach achieves high luminance and efficiency without requiring complete redesign of the entire molecular framework, thus managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent demonstrates universality by designing host compounds (1 and 2) with versatile structures that can accommodate various dopant types (fluorescent and phosphorescent) and achieve multiple functions: charge transport, exciton management, and light emission. The core molecular frameworks can be systematically modified with different substituents to target specific color regions and performance requirements, making the material system universally applicable to different display and lighting applications.
