Abstract
We report a novel simulation method to calculate optical transmission considering the real paths of optic introduced in a unit pixel of TFT-LCDs using three-dimensional molecular director simulation of the tensor model. The simulation of optical path transmission profile was carried out by calculating new permittivity considered the real paths of optic in liquid crystal cell. As a result, it was clarified that the electro-optic characteristics such as movement of disclination line, contrast ratio and transmittance profile show a large difference according to the viewing angle compared with the conventional method.
