COMPUTER MODELLING GROUP

Research Highlights over the last 5 years

• First published finite element dynamic 3D model of liquid crystal structures including a tensor approach, variation of the order parameter, flow, flexoelectric effect and weak surface anchoring. (IEEE Trans. Electron Devices, 2006, (53), 7, pp. 1575-1582).
• Modelling for the design of an advanced liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) chip for rear projection displays. European collaborative project LCOS4LCOS. (https://www.thomson-gkm.com/QuickPlace/research_lcos4lcos/Main.nsf/, Proc. of SID'06, San Francisco, CA, 4-9 June 2006).
• First 3D dynamic model (vector approach) for liquid crystal display cells (2002). European project MonLCD - released commercially by Autronics-Melchers (Germany). http://www.hitech-projects.com/euprojects/monlcd/
• Development of a formulation for the modelling of weak surface anchoring in the Landau deGennes framework. (IEEE Trans on Electron Devices, (54), 10, pp. 2630-2637, Oct. 2007.)
