Abstract
Simulations of the switching behavior in a ferroelectric liquid crystal were carried out with the model proposed by Handschy and Clark. There appear to be various types of switching processes for changing surface anchoring force. Results of simulations are compared with experimental observations, some of which seem to be well reproduced by the Handschy-Clark model.Keywords
