Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite materials by combining a polycyclic compound with specific substituents (Y groups) in the emission layer. The compound core includes fused rings with boron and nitrogen atoms, and the substituents are carefully selected to provide both high luminous efficiency and long service life, resolving the contradiction between material complexity and performance improvement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Use of energy by moving object

If conventional emission layer materials are used, then manufacturing process is simple, but luminous efficiency is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying the substituent groups (Y) attached to the polycyclic compound core. Different Y groups (such as carbazole, triphenylamine, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene) are used to optimize the luminous efficiency and service life characteristics, allowing tuning of material properties without fundamentally changing the core structure

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing specific functional groups (Y substituents) at particular positions on the polycyclic compound core. These localized modifications with groups like carbazole or triphenylamine provide enhanced stability of luminous characteristics while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
