An liquid crystalline organic semiconductor material practical as an organic semiconductor is provided. The material is a liquid crystal composition having a smectic liquid crystal phase. The liquid crystalline organic semiconductor material has a distyrylbenzene structure of formula (1). When heated to a temperature range for the smectic liquid crystal phase followed by being cooled, the material takes on a solid state as a result of phase transition from the smectic phase. Wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, each represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or a group of general formula (2): Wherein R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and B represents -(CH2)m-, -(CH2)m-O-, -CO-O-(CH2)m, -CO-O-(CH2)m-O-, -C6H4-CH2-O- or -CO-.
