A phenylterthiophene derivative that exhibits a highly ordered smectic phase around room temperature is synthesized. In the bulk of the smectic phase, ambipolar carrier transport is observed and electron mobility exceeds 0.2 cm 2  V –1  s –1 . Thin‐film transistors (see the AFM image in the figure) are fabricated by a spin‐coating method and exhibit p‐type operation, a field‐effect mobility of 0.02 cm 2  V –1  s –1 , and an on/off ratio of 10 6 .
