Used primarily in the formulation of liquid crystal mixtures for display technologies. It functions as a mesogenic compound, contributing to the stability and alignment of liquid crystal phases over a broad temperature range. Its rod-like molecular structure and polar end groups enhance dielectric anisotropy, making it suitable for use in twisted nematic and super twisted nematic display modes. Commonly found in LCDs for consumer electronics such as watches, calculators, and small digital devices. Also employed in research settings to study phase behavior and electro-optical properties of liquid crystalline materials.
