Used primarily in liquid crystal formulations for display technologies, this compound contributes to improving the thermal stability and mesophase range of liquid crystal mixtures. Its rigid molecular structure enhances the alignment and response time in liquid crystal cells, making it suitable for use in LCD screens, especially in low-temperature environments. The presence of the cyano group supports dielectric anisotropy, which is critical for efficient switching under electric fields. Commonly found in mixtures for automotive displays and industrial-grade monitors where wide operating temperatures are required.
