Abstract
A model is proposed for electrohydrodynamic alignment effects in cholesteric liquid crystals. We derive and discuss a formula for the threshold voltage of such alignment, starting from the planar texture between two conducting plates. An improved formula for the threshold of the dielectric deformation of this orientation pattern is also given.Keywords
