Abstract
The flow effect in TN (Twisted Nematic)-cells has been well known as ' backflow effect'. In addition we found that the flow effect can be als o observed in STN (Super Twisted Nematic)-cells as a bounce on the ele ctrooptical property. A simple phenomenological explanation is given i n order to understand the essential mechanism of the flow effect.
