Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional organic light-emitting materials are used, then device operation is achieved, but efficiency deteriorates and lifetime is reduced due to burn-in and material deterioration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the molecular structure parameters of the light-emitting material by introducing a specific ligand structure with a planar geometry and defined molecular orbitals. This structural parameter change enables the material to maintain high emission efficiency while improving device lifetime and resistance to burn-in, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and energy loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a composite organometallic complex structure combining a metal center with specific organic ligands. This composite material approach creates a light-emitting material that integrates the advantages of different components to achieve both high efficiency and long lifetime, addressing the contradiction between emission efficiency and device reliability.
2Loss of energy
If light extraction efficiency is increased, then emission efficiency improves, but driving voltage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the energy level parameters of the organometallic complex by adjusting the ligand structure and metal center combination. This parameter optimization enables simultaneous achievement of high light extraction efficiency and appropriate driving voltage, resolving the contradiction between energy loss reduction and electrical stress.
