Abstract
The transmission of a LCD for normal incident light can be simply calculated by a clever use of the Jones calculus. Several cases are treated in different ways. The results for a few examples are compared with the more general simulations according to the 4 × 4 Berreman method, which also takes internal reflections into account. Our fast optical calculations are useful when predicted molecular distributions should be confronted with experimental optical spectra.Keywords
