Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of stationary object
If conventional organic electroluminescence materials are used, then the device can achieve basic light emission, but the service life is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical structure of the emission layer by introducing specific polycyclic compounds with defined molecular formulas (Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3) and substituent groups. These structural parameter changes in the organic compound lead to improved stability and longevity of the light emitting element, directly addressing the service life issue while maintaining the organic electroluminescence mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a composite material system where the emission layer comprises a specific polycyclic compound (Formula 1) combined with defined substituent groups (Formula 2 and Formula 3). This composite molecular structure integrates multiple functional moieties that work synergistically to enhance both the durability and performance of the light emitting element, resolving the contradiction between basic functionality and extended service life
2Use of energy by moving object
If TADF materials are developed to improve luminous efficiency, then triplet state energy utilization increases, but material stability and longevity remain challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the energy level parameters and molecular structure of the TADF material by defining specific polycyclic compounds with controlled substituent groups. This parameter optimization enables efficient triplet state energy utilization for high luminous efficiency while the stabilized molecular structure prevents degradation, simultaneously achieving both high efficiency and long service life in the thermally activated delayed fluorescence emission mechanism
