Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the organic semiconductor material into modular components: a triazine core unit and interchangeable fluorene-aryI substituent modules. This segmentation allows for systematic optimization of electron mobility through substituent selection while maintaining standardized core structures, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity. The modular design enables easy synthesis and processing of high-performance materials.
