Abstract
•Monte Carlo simulations identifies the optical transmission of liquid crystal cells.•Change of light transmission by applied field and cell thickness was observed.•Behavior of global order parameter by applied field was explained.•Three regions of optical transmission has been figured out.
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and the Mueller matrix formalism were applied to investigate electro optical properties of a LC cell with planar boundary conditions for various thicknesses. Field dependent global order parameter and the optical transmissions were analyzed in common. Three characteristic regions of the periodicity of optical transmissions as a function of polarizer angle and the external field were identified.
