Cover Story: Liquid crystal director distributions have been numerically analyzed between asymmetric anchoring surfaces, that is, infinite strong and very weak anchoring surfaces in a hybrid aligned nematic (HAN) cell and a twisted nematic (TN) cell. When the weak anchoring strength is lower than a critical one, HAN and TN orientations turn to a homogeneous orientation. Such quasi-homogeneous orientations return to original HAN and TN orientations under the application of voltage. A unique voltage transmission curve of 0–100–0% appears in the quasi-homogeneous TN cell between crossed polarizers.
