SIMULATION OF DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF LIQUID CRYSTAL MOLECULES IN OCB MODES

초록

Computer simulation of LCDs has been usually performed by two different methods, that is, vector and tensor approaches. They show differences in formulating the equation of motion which includes that Gibb's free energy. However, the results obtained from the two are different each other for special cases such as a director distribution has singular points of discontinuties. In this study, we simulate the director behavior of OCB cell using the two methods and discuss splay-to-bend transition behavior from the results.
