Abstract
The Monte Carlo (MC) method is applied to the modeling of a liquid cry stal display based on the in-plane switching effect. This is the first attempt to simulate this device features starting from purely microsc opic molecular interactions. The optical textures are obtained from th e Monte Carlo generated microscopic equilibrium configurations by mean s of a Muller matrix approach. Suitable order parameters are also calc ulated to quantify the ordering and the molecular organization across the display cell.
