Reverse flow is undesirable in liquid crystal devices with vertical alignment. The influence of the material properties on the onset of backflow is investigated for commercially available negative dielectric liquid crystals. It is shown that the threshold voltage VBF for the occurrence of backflow is an important material characteristic. This threshold is relevant for applications and a large value is desired in devices to avoid backflow while keeping a wide applicable voltage range. Accurate finite element simulation of the liquid crystal hydrodynamics allows extraction of VBF and the unknown Miesowicz coefficients ηij. The resulting values are tabulated at 20.0 °C.
