Applied Scientific Principles

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 luminous efficiency, reduces driving voltage, and extends the service life of organic electroluminescent devices by effectively blocking electrons and excitons, leading to enhanced performance and reliability.

Implementation Method 1

an electron blocking layer is used to block electrons transported from an organic light-emitting layer, thus ensuring that electrons and holes can be recombined very efficiently in the organic light-emitting layer; and at the same time, the electron blocking layer can also block excitons diffused from the organic light-emitting layer, reducing triplet state quenching of the excitons
