Used as a liquid crystal monomer in the formulation of advanced liquid crystal materials for display technologies. It contributes to the mesomorphic properties of mixtures, enhancing thermal stability and improving alignment behavior in nematic and smectic phases. Commonly found in high-performance liquid crystal formulations for LCDs, especially those requiring wide operating temperature ranges and fast response times. Also investigated for use in photo-responsive materials and electro-optical devices due to its rigid, linear structure and ability to promote molecular ordering.
