1Use of energy by moving object
If metal complex compounds are used as emitter materials in OLEDs, then device efficiency can be improved, but device stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes metal ions from the emitter material structure, extracting the harmful element (metal) while retaining the desired photoluminescence properties through purely organic molecular structures with specific chemical formulas I and II
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using purely organic molecules with specific structural formulas, transitioning from metal-containing compounds to metal-free organic compounds while maintaining or improving photoluminescence quantum yield and TADF characteristics
2Ease of manufacture
If known emitter materials are used in OLEDs, then manufacturing can be simplified, but device stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs purely organic molecules that can be synthesized through standard organic chemistry methods, replacing complex metal complexes with simpler, more stable organic structures that are easier to manufacture and handle
3Device complexity
If conventional organic molecules are used, then device complexity is reduced, but photoluminescence quantum yield deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates composite molecular structures combining specific chemical units (formula I with two formula II units) that work synergistically to achieve both structural simplicity and high photoluminescence quantum yield through the designed molecular architecture
4Illumination intensity
