Abstract
Director fields and electrostatic potential functions for three dimensional liquid crystal cells have been calculated numerically by solving the discretized Frank-Oseen equations for a nematic liquid crystal with a fast nonlinear multigrid algorithm on an adaptive grid. All elastic constants, including the k 24 term and an anchoring coefficient at the surfaces, were taken into account. Two configurations with different boundary conditions were investigated: multidomain cells and hybrid aligned films
