Used in organic semiconductors for flexible electronics and thin-film transistors due to its high charge carrier mobility and stability. Commonly found in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) as a donor material in active layers, enhancing light absorption and energy conversion efficiency. Also employed in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for display technologies, where its planar structure supports efficient π-π stacking and improved device performance. Soluble derivatives enable solution-processing techniques like inkjet printing or spin coating, making it suitable for low-cost, large-area electronic devices.
