Abstract

We coupled fluid balance equation and director balance equation from Ericksen-Leslie's continuum theory and observed the motion of Twisted Nematic (TN) Liquid Crystals. We simulated flow velocity distribution and director distribution. We interpreted the dynamic response characteristic caused by the flow. As the result of the simulation, We could see the flow effect. And this flow caused abnormal twist to 4msec in switching off state. We could prove that this abnormal twist is a direct cause of optical bounce phenomenon known well until now with the result of simulation.
