Within the sharp interface approximation, we derive microscopic expressions for the surface contributions to bend and splay elastic deformations on the basis of the Mair-Saupe type molecular statistical theory. Using this microscopic perspective, we are able to investigate quantitatively the nature of sub-surface director deformations predicted by the phenomenological continuum theory.
