Solution Overview

Problem

The existing light-emitting element with a metal halide perovskite layer struggles to confine charges effectively, leading to a reduced luminance lifetime due to charge migration.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a blocking layer between the electrodes and the light-emitting layer to suppress charge migration, using a perovskite structure for the light-emitting layer and blocking layers with specific materials like PCPPn and CBP to confine electrons and holes within the light-emitting layer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If a metal halide perovskite light-emitting layer is used, then luminous efficiency is improved, but charge confinement is insufficient leading to reduced luminance lifetime

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous efficiencyVSAvoidluminance lifetime
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

A blocking layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the electrode and the perovskite light-emitting layer. This blocking layer acts as a mediator that suppresses charge migration from the light-emitting layer to the electrode, thereby extending luminance lifetime while preserving the high luminous efficiency of the perovskite material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The device structure is segmented into distinct functional layers: an electrode, a blocking layer, and a perovskite light-emitting layer. This segmentation allows the blocking layer to specifically address charge confinement without compromising the light-emitting properties of the perovskite layer, resolving the contradiction between efficiency and lifetime.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If charges are allowed to migrate freely, then device simplicity is maintained, but charge confinement is insufficient reducing luminance lifetime

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelayer structure complexityVSAvoidluminance lifetime
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into functionally distinct layers with the blocking layer serving as a dedicated component for charge management. This segmentation introduces minimal complexity while achieving effective charge confinement and extending luminance lifetime.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The blocking layer serves as a simple intermediary component that provides charge confinement functionality without requiring complex structures or multiple additional layers, maintaining device simplicity while improving luminance lifetime.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
