Static Configuration of the Super In-Plane Switching Liquid Crystal Director on the Electrode

Abstract

In this work we investigate dynamic behavior of the LC director including the defect nucleation and the LC director field on the shape of the electrode using the Q-tensor method in the Super IPS cell. In general, the Q-tensor method can model the defect dynamics in a liquid crystal director field in addition to electrical behavior of the LC director.

Keywords:

• defect
• fast Q-tensor
• liquid crystal
