Abstract :
Orientation structures within polymer dispersed nematic, droplets are considered under modification of boundary conditions by lecithin. It was found that the addition of lecithin more 1.3 % causes the formation of droplets revealing the inclined "Maltese cross" texture. On the analysis of textures of such droplets the radial director configuration with inclined orientation of liquid crystal molecules both on interface and in volume of droplet follows. Orientation structure of inclined radial droplets is unstable, with time it transforms in classical radial configuration.
