Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specific molecular structure with both electron-withdrawing groups (for hole generation) and electron-donating groups (for miscibility) localized within the same molecule. The hole transport layer comprises compounds having a specific molecular structure that includes both electron-withdrawing groups (such as cyano groups) and electron-donating groups (such as amino groups), allowing the material to simultaneously achieve efficient hole generation and good miscibility with hole transporting compounds, thereby resolving the contradiction between luminous efficiency and charge transfer characteristics
