Used in organic electronics as a fluorescent emitter in OLED devices due to its strong blue light emission and thermal stability. Its rigid fused-ring structure enhances charge transport, making it suitable for use in thin-film transistors and light-emitting diodes. Also investigated as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy owing to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species under light exposure. Soluble in common organic solvents, it is easily processed in solution-based fabrication methods for optoelectronic devices.
