Solution Overview

Problem

Existing organic optoelectronic devices face challenges in achieving high efficiency and long lifespan due to limitations in material performance, particularly in the organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology.

Innovation Solution

A compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, which incorporates a fused dibenzofuran or dibenzothiophene structure with a nitrogen-containing group, enhances planarity and hole mobility, and a second compound with a nitrogen-containing 6-membered ring expands the LUMO energy band, improving charge balance and stability when used in conjunction with the first compound.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional organic materials are used in OLEDs, then device structure and manufacturing process are simple, but luminous efficiency and lifespan are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice lifespanVSAvoidmaterial structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies molecular parameters by introducing specific heteroatoms (O, S, N) and aromatic groups into the organic compound structure. This changes the electronic properties, HOMO-LUMO energy levels, and charge transport characteristics of the material, thereby improving device lifespan and efficiency without fundamentally changing the device architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite organic compounds combining multiple functional groups (dibenzofuran/dibenzothiophene fused rings, nitrogen-containing groups, aryl groups) within a single molecular structure. This composite molecular design achieves both high efficiency and long lifespan by integrating electron transport, hole transport, and stability functions in one material

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If conventional organic materials are used in OLEDs, then manufacturing process is simple, but luminous efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous efficiencyVSAvoidmaterial synthesis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the organic compound into distinct functional segments: fused dibenzofuran/dibenzothiophene core structure for electron transport, nitrogen-containing groups for hole transport, and aromatic substituents for stability. This segmentation allows systematic optimization of each function while maintaining overall molecular stability and manufacturability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces specific functional groups at particular positions within the molecular structure to achieve local optimization of electronic properties. The nitrogen-containing groups are strategically placed to enhance hole mobility in specific regions, while the fused ring structure provides localized electron transport pathways, improving overall luminous efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If organic materials with improved efficiency are used, then device performance increases, but driving voltage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice efficiencyVSAvoiddriving voltage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves sufficient charge transport performance through partial functional group incorporation rather than complete molecular redesign. By adding specific nitrogen-containing groups and aromatic substituents to the fused ring core, the material achieves good charge balance and efficiency without excessive energy requirements, maintaining reasonable driving voltage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
