Flexoelectric surface switching of bistable nematic devices.
We report on a novel method of dynamically controlling the boundary conditions at the surface of a nematic liquid crystal using a surface flexoelectric effect. By moving the surface directors we show that one is able to manipulate defects which lie near the surface. This can be used to produce switc...
