When bistability and diffraction are simultaneously present, a Liquid-Crystal-Light-Valve with optical feedback shows the appearance of localised structures. We report here new features of their dynamics, such as their appearance on successive and concentric rings and their motion along the rings. Radial and azimuthal dynamics are presented and discussed.
