Abstract

The bistability of a nematic liquid crystal layer with the asymmetric directions of easy orientation and weak orientational anchoring is considered within the framework of the continuum theory. The feasibility of passive storage applications based on two differing states of lateral bending is demonstrated. Switching between these splay states does not require the motion of the domain walls and can be accomplished by the two-frequency control of the low electric field applied to the crystal.
