P-77: A Simplified Model for the Director in Multidimensional LCDs

A model for describing the director and electric field for two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with interdigitated electrodes located on one or both substrates is proposed. Calculations show good agreement between the model and direct computer solution of the Euler—Lagrange equations, but the model is about 30 times faster.
