Abstract(in English) The anchoring mechanism at the surface had not been completely clarified, yet. In this work the relation between order parameter of the alignment and the elastic constant based on the mean field theory was used to analyze the surface anchoring mechanism. The result indicates that the alignment aurface affects several nm into the liquid crystal layer where the order parameter is changed and it causes the change of the elastic constant. From this result, S shaped distribution of the director in a twist alignment was deduced. This distribution suggests that the anchoring strength measured until now is the effective anchoring strength. The theoretical analysis was proved firstly by a good agreement between the experimental and calculated results.
