Paper Abstract
The 2 X 2 Jones matrix and 4 X 4 Mueller matrix methods are used as computational tools for LCD quiescent state optical mode design. Matrices of a general twisted nematic (GTN) LC cell and some basic optical components are given. The transmission or reflection of a GTN cell can be calculated easily by using these matrices. A parameter space approach of designing LCDs is described, by which many GTN optical modes are revealed with information on their transmittance/reflectance, dispersion and also cell gap tolerance. The 4 X 4 Mueller matrix is introduced both as an alternative to the Jones matrix calculation and an efficient tool for investigating GTN cell polarization transformation. A polarization transformation switching scheme is proposed to explain all GTN display operations. New bistable twisted nematic modes are invented by considering horizontal switching of linear polarization preservation modes.
