1Reliability

If conventional materials are used in OLED light-emitting device layers, then energy levels can be matched, but mobility remains low

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the molecular structure parameters of organic compounds by introducing electron-donating groups (such as -OMe, -SMe) at specific positions (2, 7) of the phenazine-fused acridine core structure. This structural parameter change simultaneously optimizes both energy levels (HOMO: -5.22 eV to -5.66 eV, LUMO: -2.53 eV to -2.54 eV) and carrier mobility (hole mobility up to 1.2×10⁻⁴ cm²/Vs, electron mobility up to 2.8×10⁻⁴ cm²/Vs), resolving the contradiction between energy level matching and mobility performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite molecular structures by combining the phenazine-fused acridine core with various electron-donating aromatic groups (such as dimethoxy groups, dimethylsulfonio groups). This composite approach allows the material to exhibit both appropriate energy levels for OLED operation and enhanced mobility through improved molecular packing and charge transport pathways

2Speed

If materials with high mobility are developed, then display performance improves, but energy level matching becomes difficult to achieve

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By systematically varying the electron-donating groups and their positions on the phenazine-fused acridine core, the patent achieves precise control over both mobility and energy level parameters. The introduction of electron-donating groups at positions 2 and 7 specifically enhances mobility while the overall molecular architecture maintains energy levels within the required range for OLED light-emitting layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies electron-donating groups at specific local positions (2, 7) of the molecular structure rather than uniformly across the entire molecule. This localized modification strategy allows mobility enhancement at specific sites while preserving the overall energy level structure necessary for OLED operation, achieving both high mobility and energy level matching simultaneously
