Solution Overview

Problem

Organic light-emitting display apparatuses face limitations in achieving a wide color gamut, which is essential for high-quality display performance, particularly in portable electronic devices and televisions.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a thin film comprising a perovskite compound represented by Formula 1, [A][B1nB2(1-n)]X3, on an organic light-emitting device, where A is a monovalent organic- or inorganic-cation, B1 and B2 are divalent inorganic-cations, and X is a monovalent anion, positioned in the traveling direction of light emitted from the device, enhancing light emission efficiency and color purity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a conventional organic light-emitting device structure is used, then the device can be driven with low voltage and have reduced thickness, but the color gamut is limited and display quality is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelow voltage operationVSAvoidcolor gamut
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite structure combining organic light-emitting materials with perovskite quantum dot materials. The organic layer provides low-voltage operation characteristics while the perovskite quantum dots enhance color gamut through quantum confinement effects, achieving both low voltage operation and wide color gamut simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces perovskite quantum dots specifically in the emission layer region to enhance color properties locally, while maintaining the organic light-emitting structure in other regions for low-voltage operation. This localized enhancement of color gamut in critical areas resolves the contradiction between ease of manufacture and manufacturing precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If conventional organic emission layers are used, then the device structure can be simplified, but color purity and light emission efficiency are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidcolor purity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical and chemical parameters of the emission layer by incorporating perovskite quantum dots with controlled size (2-10 nm). The quantum dot size parameter directly controls emission wavelength and color purity through quantum confinement effects, achieving high color purity while maintaining relatively simple device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The perovskite quantum dots act as an intermediary material between the organic light-emitting layers. They receive excitons from the organic materials and convert them to photons with enhanced color purity, serving as a mediator that improves light emission efficiency without significantly complicating the overall device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
