Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If phosphorescent materials are used to improve luminous efficiency, then luminous efficiency is improved, but lifespan decreases at high luminance levels

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the molecular structure of host materials by introducing specific substituents (R1-R6) at defined positions on the phenanthrooxazole core structure. These structural parameter changes optimize the host-guest interaction and energy transfer characteristics, enabling the device to achieve high luminous efficiency while maintaining stability at high luminance levels, thus resolving the contradiction between luminous efficiency and lifespan

Inventive Principle:
