Abstract
Formulae are calculated for the main contributions to the energy in FL C-cells in the one-dimensional case. Special emphasis is given to the modelling of the smectic layers and to the influence of the electric f ield. For the study of structural questions in FLCDs, an efficient num eric simulation method is proposed. The use of it is illustrated with an example.
