| Abstract: | The behaviour of homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal layers in inhomogeneous electric fields has been theoretically and experimentally investigated. The variation of the phase retardation of monochromatic light along nematic liquid crystal layer at the edges of a cell electrode has been obtained. Anisotropic character of the resolution of liquid crystal devices is shown. |
