We analyse the Freedericksz transition and the flexoelectric deformation in a hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal cell. We show that the threshold field for the first effect is smaller than that for a homogeneous sample. The calculations are made in the one constant approximation and in the general situation. Furthermore, in the adiabatic approximation we calculated the polarization plane rotation vs. the applied magnetic field, in the one constant approximation. A similar calculation is made for the flexoelectric effect. In particular we show that it is possible to extend the analysis to a situation of weak anchoring energy.

In the paper, Bifurcation analysis of the twist-Fréedericksz transition in a nematic liquid-crystal cell with pre-twist boundary conditions (2009 Eur. J. Appl. Math.20, 269–287) by da Costa et al. the twist-Fréedericksz transition in a nematic liquid-crystal one-dimensional cell of lenght L was studied, imposing an antisymmetric net twist Dirichlet condition at the cell boundaries. In the present paper, we extend that study to the more general case of net twist Dirichlet conditions without any kind of symmetry restrictions. We use phase-plane analysis tools and appropriately defined time maps to obtain the bifurcation diagrams of the model when L is the bifurcation parameter, and related these diagrams with the one in the antisymmetric situation. The stability of the bifurcating solutions is investigated by applying the method of Maginu (1978 J. Math. Anal. Appl.63, 224–243).
