A layer of nematic liquid crystal that has undergone an electrohydrodynamic instability (and contains nonequilibrium structures with period l₀) is subjected to a spatially periodic electric field with periodicity l₁. The competition between these two length scales is found to result in novel ordered phases similar to those found in equilibrium condensed-matter systems. A simple model is proposed that accounts for most of the observations.
