Ac driven electroconvection (EC) in nematic liquid crystal (NLC) layers is one of the richest systems for the study of pattern forming phenomena [1,2]. We consider the typical thin-layer geometry with the (slightly conducting) NLC sandwiched between glass plates coated with transparent electrodes. An ac voltage U is applied across the electrodes. By appropriate surface treatment of the glass plates the director ˆ (the preferred orientation of the NLC molecules) can be fixed at the boundaries. In particular the case of planar alignment (ˆ
