Solution Overview

Problem

Organic electroluminescence devices face challenges in maintaining consistent chromaticity of light emission as the concentration of phosphorescent materials in the light-emitting layer increases, leading to broader emission wavelengths and instability.

Innovation Solution

A platinum complex compound with a specific tetradentate ligand structure is introduced, which is incorporated into the light-emitting layer in a concentration range of 20 to 30 wt% to stabilize the emission wavelength and reduce chromaticity variations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the addition concentration of phosphorescent material in the light-emitting layer is increased to improve luminance, then the luminance of light emission is improved, but the chromaticity of light emission changes significantly due to widening emission wavelength

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoidchromaticity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the addition concentration of the phosphorescent material to a specific range (5-20 wt%, preferably 10-15 wt%) relative to the host material. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction by finding the sweet spot where sufficient luminance is achieved while chromaticity remains stable, preventing the emission wavelength from widening excessively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by creating a light-emitting layer that combines the phosphorescent material with a specifically selected host material. This composite structure allows the host material to support the phosphorescent dopant at optimized concentrations, maintaining stable chromaticity while achieving high luminance through the synergistic interaction between host and guest materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Power

If the addition concentration of phosphorescent material is increased to achieve higher luminance, then light emission intensity is improved, but emission wavelength widens causing chromaticity instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission intensityVSAvoidchromaticity stability
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction through parameter changes by establishing an optimal concentration range for the phosphorescent material (5-20 wt% of host material). Within this range, the material achieves sufficient light emission intensity while preventing excessive emission wavelength widening that would compromise chromaticity stability and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms by systematically evaluating the relationship between phosphorescent material concentration and both luminance output and chromaticity stability. This feedback approach allows optimization of the addition concentration to achieve the desired balance between emission intensity and chromaticity reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
