Phase Retardation Difference of Liquid Crystal Cells with Symmetric and Asymmetric Boundary Conditions
Phase retardation Delta phi values for the LC cells with homogeneous and inhomogeneous LC director distribution vs. the LC pretilt angle theta(0) on the cell's substrates has been simulated. Cases of symmetric and hybrid cells with both positive and negative optical anisotropy LC with theta(0) values in the range from 0 to 90 degrees and theta(0) > 90 degrees are reviewed.
