Application

This acrylate-functionalized biphenyl derivative is primarily used in the formulation of photoalignable liquid crystal materials for next-generation displays and optical coatings. It serves as a key monomer in polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC) systems, enabling precise control of molecular orientation via UV polymerization. Researchers utilize it to develop electro-optic devices with switchable birefringence, as well as in the fabrication of holographic recording media and tunable diffraction gratings. Its cyano group enhances dielectric anisotropy, making it valuable for low-voltage LC applications.
