In a microwave device loaded nematic liquid crystal, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer is usually more than 50 µm. Therefore, the decay time when the voltage is removed is very long, e.g. several 10 seconds, and it is problem for utilizing adaptive device. In this research, we report the results of simulation analysis of the motion of liquid crystal molecules in two dimensional structure using polymer stabilized nematic liquid crystal.
