Abstract: We present a Monte Carlo simulation of a model of a twisted nematic display on a lattice starting from purely microscopic interactions. We visualize the simulated display calculating optical textures under crossed polarizers corresponding to the Monte Carlo microscopic configurations. We also investigate the orientational order and the molecular organizations in the different regions of the lattice, introducing and calculating suitable order parameters.
