Abstract
Microstructural changes of MBBA liquid crystal films are investigated where the direction of observation is perpendicular to the applied electric field (dc or low frequency ac) direction. Some unusual features are reported and possible mechanisms for the formation of Williams domains and the “dynamic scattering” state from the microstructural point of view are discussed.Keywords
