1Productivity
If conventional materials are used in the emission layer, then the device can be manufactured with standard materials, but the luminous efficiency and lifespan are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the molecular structure parameters of the emission material by introducing specific polycyclic frameworks (Formula 1) with controlled substituents (Ar1, Ar2, R1-R8). This structural parameter change enables thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) mechanism, which improves both luminous efficiency and device lifespan by facilitating triplet exciton utilization and reducing energy loss.
