Abstract: ABSTRACT Electric field-induced deformations in hybrid aligned layers of nematic liquid crystals possessing flexoelectric properties were investigated numerically. The thresholdless one-dimensional deformations occurred at low voltages whereas the spatially periodic deformations, taking the form of… read more here.
