Abstract
Alignment inversion walls in nematic liquid crystal layers deformed by an electric field have been observed. Different types of walls in layers with planar boundary conditions could be distinguished. Beginning at some irregularity, the walls split into pairs of disclination lines. The speed of the splitting depends linearly on the applied voltage. Models for the structure of the walls and for the splitting process are given
