In spite of the fact that many simulation programs have already been commercialized, this article provides a reliable methodology for the simulation of the director field of liquid crystal. The present method is easier to be applied than ref. [1,2], especially in various asymmetric pretilt orientations and twists angles. Through this technique, ITRI/OES is developing a series of spreadsheets. Present work is simple and easy to be extended to dynamics and two/three dimensional simulations.The giving grid test also shows that for small discrete numbers the errors will become serious while position is near the rubbing surface. Some of the published simulation works do not mention about this.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
