| Popis: | We have investigated backflow and dynamic behavior of a homogeneously aligned liquid crystal cell in the modulated electric field. We quantitatively describe the dynamic behavior of director, flow velocity, and fluid displacement. The numerical calculation shows the whole dynamic process of director and flow in the modulated electric field. We also show an important phenomenon, reverse switch for nematic liquid crystals in the modulated electric field, which has never been mentioned before. |
