Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite organic materials comprising multiple functional units: a core unit (indolocarbazole or phenanthroindolizine) providing charge transport capability, fused aromatic rings (phenanthrene, carbazole, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene) enhancing stability and mobility, and substituent groups (triphenylamine, carbazole, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene) further improving electrochemical properties. This composite structure achieves high hole and electron mobility while maintaining excellent electrochemical stability for large-size OLED applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically varies molecular parameters including the type of core unit (indolocarbazole vs. phenanthroindolizine), the number and position of fused aromatic rings, and the nature of substituent groups to optimize the balance between charge mobility and electrochemical stability. By adjusting these molecular parameters, the invention achieves the required performance threshold for large-size OLEDs while managing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If organic materials with high charge mobility are developed, then luminous efficiency and lifespan improve, but the complexity of material design and synthesis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous efficiencyVSAvoidmaterial design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the organic material into distinct functional segments: a core unit responsible for basic charge transport, fused aromatic ring systems that enhance mobility and stability, and substituent groups that fine-tune electrochemical properties. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each functional element, achieving high luminous efficiency and lifespan while managing design complexity through modular construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs organic materials with multi-functional units where each component serves multiple purposes: the core unit provides charge transport, fused aromatic rings enhance both mobility and electrochemical stability, and substituent groups contribute to both charge transport and device stability. This multi-functionality achieves high luminous efficiency and lifespan without proportionally increasing design complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
