Simple method for the calculation of the deformation profiles in chiral nematic liquid crystal cells with asymmetric pretilt
Abstract
We present a one-dimensional simulation methodology for determining the liquid crystal director distribution in a cell for arbitrary pretilt angles on two glass substrate surfaces. The method is illustrated for cases of an asymmetric twisted nematic cell, a hybrid alignment nematic cell, and a bend alignment nematic cell. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
