Used as a high-performance organic semiconductor in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) due to its strong intermolecular stacking and excellent charge carrier mobility. Its extended π-conjugated structure enhances light absorption and electron delocalization, making it suitable for use in donor-acceptor type active layers of solar cells. Also employed in flexible electronics and printed circuits because of its solution-processability when blended with appropriate polymers. Shows stability under ambient conditions, which supports long-term device performance.
