It was found that the dielectric reorientation of planar or weakly‐tilted S c phases can take place by domain wall motion accompanied by hysteresis effect. For special boundary conditions the field‐induced deformations can become irreversible. At high electric fields an irreversible transition of a planar texture into a schlieren texture is observed. The experimental results are interpreted threoretically.
