Abstract
Dynamics of DC electric field induced deformations of flexoelectric nematic layers were studied numerically. The characteristic response times were calculated. It was found that the cooperative effect of flexoelectricity and of ionic space charge may affect the dynamics of the deformations even in the case of rigid anchoring.
