Abstract
The flow patterns formed by the electrohydrodynamic effect of the nematic liquid crystal are observed. It is found that the phase diagram made from the observation bears a strong resemblance to that of isotropic fluid. The typical patterns observed under the variable frequency and voltage are shown.Keywords
