We report a reorientational phenomenon that takes place inside confined smectic-C (SmC) domains in a phase-segregated Langmuir film. Observations of texture changes by means of Brewster angle miscroscopy (BAM) refer to an azobenzene derivative whose monolayer behavior depends strongly on its molecular cis/ trans configuration. Well-developed droplets of a trans-rich mesophase adopt mixed bend/splay structures whose splay sign is reversed through complete droplet reordering when varying the surface pressure. Numerical simulations of a simple relaxational model based on a free-energy functional fully reproduce the experimental observations.
