Used primarily in organic electronics, this compound serves as a p-type semiconductor in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its extended conjugated system and alkyl side chains enhance charge carrier mobility and solubility, making it suitable for solution-processed thin-film devices. It is also employed in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) as a donor material due to its strong light absorption and favorable energy levels for charge separation. Additionally, its stability and film-forming properties support use in flexible and printed electronics.
