Abstract
Dynamics of interfaces was experimentally studied, using nematic liquid crystals. It was found that the dynamical scaling law holds well for the dynamics in the orthogonally twisted nematic cell, while in the non-orthogonally twisted nematic cells the statistical equivalence could be found for the patterns formed in the cells with different twist angles. The evolution of patterns observed in the non-orthogonally twisted nematic cells is analyzed with the use of the theory which takes into account the effect of the initial distribution of interfaces.
