Used as a high-performance pigment in coatings, plastics, and inks due to excellent thermal stability and lightfastness. Common in automotive paints and industrial coatings where durability and color retention under harsh conditions are critical. Also employed in organic semiconductors and electronic devices as an n-type semiconductor material because of its strong electron-accepting properties and chemical robustness. Its extended π-conjugated structure makes it suitable for use in organic photovoltaics and field-effect transistors.
