We have studied the carrier transport properties of the nematic phase of cyclohexylethylterthiophene derivative by time of flight measurements. In the nematic phase, positive and negative carrier mobilities exhibited positive temperature-dependence whose activation energy was 0.35 eV in contrast to temperature-independent mobility in the smectic phases. Anisotropy in carrier mobility in the nematic phase was 1.6 at 150℃, and the mobility along the director was smaller than that vertical to it.
