The boundary layer display (BLD) with nematic liquid crystals was proposed by J. Cheng et al. in 1982. We assumed that the torque of the director reorientation with polarity which depends on the sign of the applied dc electric field in the BLD cells is induced by flexoelectric effects. Then, some electrooptical characteristics of BLD cells were studied theoretically and experimentally. Good agreements were obtained between the T-V characteristics of numerical calculated results and experimental results.
