Used as an organic semiconductor in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its high charge carrier mobility and excellent molecular ordering in thin films. Commonly employed in research on organic electronics and optoelectronics, especially in studies involving liquid crystalline phases and self-assembled monolayers. Serves as a model compound for investigating charge transport mechanisms in conjugated oligomers. Also applied in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photovoltaic devices as a hole transport or emissive layer component, benefiting from its good thermal stability and tunable electronic properties.
