    This letter studies the stability of a single umbilical director field of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) in a closed cavity with external electric field. To form the single umbilic structure, we filled NLC with negative dielectric anisotropy in a closed conical cavity and made molecules align perpendicular to the cavity wall. Electric field was applied along the symmetry axis of the cavity. Using the continuum theory, we show that an umbilical director field will transform to a director field of a hyperbolic singular point with disclination ring instead of a Poincare structure at a critical voltage.

    Continuum theory and numerical method are utilized in this study to report the dependence of director-field transition induced by electric field on the elastic constants of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy in a closed conical cavity with perpendicular boundary conditions of NLC. Normal umbilic structure (NU), twisted umbilic structure (TU), normal hyperbolic point structure with a disclination ring (NH), twisted hyperbolic point structure with a disclination ring (TH), and normal Poincare structure (NP) are found to be stable structures in electric-field-induced transitions. Moreover, five typical sequences of transition, T-NU-->TU-->TH, T-NU-->TU-->NH-->TH, T-NU-->TU-->NH, T-NU-->NH, and T-NU-->NP-->NH are found in the range of applied voltage less than 10 V. The transition sequences and the transition voltages are strongly dependent on the ratios of elastic constants K-11/K-33 and K-22/K-33.
