A twisted hybrid aligned nematic orientation turns to a conventional TN orientation when the polar anchoring strength of the homeotropic surface is less than the critical one. The relationship between elastic constants K11, K22 and K33 of the liquid crystal is numerically clarified to establish the quasi-TN orientation.
