Monostable and bistable anchorings on evaporated SiO films

Directions of anchorings produced by evaporated SiO films depend on the angle of incidence of the evaporating beam. The anchoring is planar monostable in C, oblique bistable between C and B, and oblique monostable between B and A.

Texture in a nematic droplet spread on a SiO film producing oblique bistable anchoring. The choice between the two equivalent directions of the anchoring occurs during the spreading of the nematic droplet.
