Used as a liquid crystal compound in display technologies, particularly in the formulation of nematic liquid crystal mixtures for LCDs. It contributes to improving the dielectric anisotropy and lowering the melting point of the mixture, enhancing performance at lower temperatures. Its fluorinated and cyano-substituted structure provides good chemical stability and fast response times, making it suitable for use in high-speed and energy-efficient displays. Also employed in research and development of new liquid crystal materials for advanced electro-optical devices.
