For the purpose of developing liquid crystalline micro-actuators, the transient behaviors of a nematic liquid crystal between two parallel plates have been computed for various parameters such as applied voltage, the gap between the plates, and the twist and tilt angles at the plates. The Leslie–Ericksen theory has been selected as a constitutive equation. As conclusion of this study, we can develop micro-actuators with arbitrary characteristics by suitably controlling the applied voltage, the size of the actuators, and the director anchoring conditions.
