Abstract: The Monte Carlo (MC) method is applied to the modeling of a liquid crystal display based on the in-plane switching effect. This is the first attempt to simulate this device features starting from purely microscopic molecular interactions. The optical textures are obtained from the Monte Carlo generated microscopic equilibrium configurations by means of a Müller matrix approach. Suitable order parameters are also calculated to quantify the ordering and the molecular organization across the display cell.
