On a ferroelectric liquid crystal DOBAMBC transitions between helical and twisted structures are observed if changing the temperature. The twisted structure appears when the helical pitch becomes comparable to the sample thickness, From the switching process of the twisted DOBAMBC samples in an electric field the polarity of surface layers is determined. Low signal di- electric permittivity shows an increase below the transition to the ferroelectric phase, which is a consequence of the twisted structure deformation in the electric field.
