Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the traditional RGB three-color system into four separate light-emitting units (red, green, blue, and yellow), with each unit having its own electrode and organic laminated body. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each color channel, enabling broader color gamut while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality optimization by designing specific organic laminated bodies for each light-emitting unit with tailored material compositions and layer structures. Each unit's organic layers are optimized for its specific color emission requirements, enabling precise control over emission wavelengths and color characteristics, thereby achieving high color reproducibility

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

An organic light-emitting structure is described herein. The organic light emitting structure includes a first light-emitting unit, a second light-emitting unit, a third light-emitting unit, and a fourth light-emitting unit. An emission wavelength of the first light-emitting unit, an emission wavelength of the second light-emitting unit, an emission wavelength of the third light-emitting unit, and an emission wavelength of the fourth light-emitting unit successively increase.
