Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing compounds are used in the emission layer, then the device structure is simple, but the luminescence efficiency and lifespan are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical structure parameters of the emission layer compounds by introducing specific organometallic complexes with defined ligand configurations (Formula 1 with specific X1-X4, Z1-Z4, T1-T4 groups). This structural parameter change enhances the luminescence efficiency and device lifespan while maintaining manageable synthesis complexity through systematic ligand design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite organometallic compounds combining transition metal centers (Ir, Pt, Os) with organic ligand systems (Formula 1 structure). This composite approach integrates the advantages of metal-based high efficiency with organic material processability, achieving both improved performance and controlled complexity.

If existing emission layer materials are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the external quantum efficiency and blue light emission are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the molecular parameters of the emission compounds by designing specific organometallic structures (Formula 1 with variable T1-T4 linkers and Z1-Z4 groups). This parameter optimization enhances electron-hole recombination efficiency and blue light emission intensity, achieving high external quantum efficiency while maintaining feasible synthesis routes through modular ligand assembly.
