This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The organic compound improves the luminescence efficiency and lifetime of the device by broadening the carrier recombination zone and enhancing exciton generation and utilization.

Implementation Method 1

When a voltage is applied to the cathode and the anode, an electric field is generated between the two electrodes, under the action of the electric field, electrons on the cathode side move towards the electroluminescent layer, and holes on the anode side also move towards the light-emitting layer, electrons and holes combine in the electroluminescent layer to form excitons, which are in an excited state and release energy outward, thereby causing the electroluminescent layer to emit light externally
