Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystal compounds for display technologies. It serves in the production of advanced liquid crystal mixtures that exhibit stable electro-optical properties, essential for LCD screens in electronics like monitors, smartphones, and televisions. Its trans configuration and rigid cyclohexyl-benzene structure contribute to favorable mesomorphic behavior, enabling precise control of molecular alignment in liquid crystal phases. Also employed in research for developing new organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials.
