Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a host/dopant composite system where the developed polycyclic compound serves as host material with specific energy levels. This composite approach enables efficient energy transfer to dopant while maintaining structural stability, resolving the contradiction between efficiency improvement and material stability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes key molecular parameters including T1 energy (2.5 eV) for efficient triplet exciton utilization, HOMO/LUMO levels for balanced charge transport, and molecular weight (471.53 g/mol) for appropriate film formation. These parameter optimizations simultaneously achieve high efficiency (5.5 cd/A) and extended device lifetime (94.9 hours at 5000 cd/m²).

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an emitting auxiliary layer using the developed compound as an intermediary between the hole transport layer and the emitting layer. This intermediary layer facilitates optimal energy and charge transfer, enabling both high efficiency and long device lifetime by mediating the interaction between different functional layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the energy level parameters of the host material (HOMO: -5.8 eV, LUMO: -2.3 eV, T1: 2.5 eV) to enable efficient energy transfer to the dopant. This parameter optimization allows the host/dopant system to achieve high color purity and luminous efficiency without requiring overly complex device structures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent systematically optimizes molecular parameters including HOMO level (-5.8 eV), LUMO level (-2.3 eV), T1 energy (2.5 eV), and molecular weight (471.53 g/mol) to achieve the optimal combination for both high efficiency and long device lifetime.
