This compound is primarily used in the formulation of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to its ability to align molecules in a specific orientation, which is essential for controlling light transmission in display screens. It is often incorporated into liquid crystal mixtures to enhance their electro-optical properties, ensuring better image quality, faster response times, and improved stability under varying temperatures. Additionally, its unique molecular structure makes it suitable for research and development in advanced materials, particularly in the study of liquid crystal phases and their applications in optoelectronic devices.
