Abstract. The simple Jones matrix technique was applied for finding intensity of obliquely incident light that passes through a plate of a uniaxial uniform medium that later was extended to general twisted nematic liquid crystal medium. Results of calculations were compared with the Berreman 4´4 matrix technique. Shown is the way of finding contrast viewing characteristics of nematic liquid-crystal displays. The obtained results are compared with experimental data.
Keywords: stratified anisotropic medium, Jones matrix, twisted nematic liquid crystal, display
