Abstract
The effects of dielectric anisotropy, the electric conductivity and the molecular orientation on the glass plate were studied on the electro-optical characteristics so as to make clear the mechanisms of the electro-optic effects observed in the smectic liquid crystals. As a result, three types of the electro-optic effects were observed, which depended upon the molecular orientation induced by the dielectric anisotropy and by the conductivity anisotropy.Keywords
