Abstract

A new effective approach for estimating the Leslie coefficients of liquid crystals based on MBBA data is presented. Literature values of the temperature‐dependent Leslie viscosity coefficients of MBBA are used to fit with the analytical functions of Leslie coefficients based on the Imura and Okano theory, and a set of constants in these functions are determined. The same functions are then applied to two high birefringence liquid crystal mixtures, E7 and UCF‐2, to extract their Leslie coefficients based on their order parameters. Using the extracted Leslie coefficients, the simulation results agree very well with the experimental data.
