1Productivity
If traditional organic materials are used in the emission layer, then the device structure is simple, but the emission efficiency and lifespan are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a silicon-containing compound with specific molecular structure parameters (Formula 1) that changes the physical and chemical properties of the emission layer. The silicon atom with its specific coordination geometry and bond angles modifies the HOMO-LUMO energy levels and charge transport characteristics, thereby improving both emission efficiency and device lifespan simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a composite material system where the silicon-containing compound (Formula 1) is integrated into the organic emission layer. This composite approach combines the benefits of traditional organic materials with the superior charge transport and stability properties of silicon-based compounds, achieving enhanced emission efficiency and extended operational lifetime.
