Dynamic photorefractivity in nematic liquid crystal panels with photoconducting polymeric layers

A novel mechanism of photorefractivity in nematic LC cells is presented. Dynamic photorefractivity is based on temporal quasiperiodic modules excitation in the liquid crystal layer by applied external alternating electric field, and their reorientation due to charges induced by interference optical field on a surface of photoconducting orienting layer.
