Abstract
The transmission intensity of liquid crystal 90° twisted structures with asymmetric boundary conditions has been estimated. Such structures are relevant for optoelectronic systems. The pretilt angle of nematic mesogen on every cell substrate varied from 0 to 90°. Configurations of twist-cells were proposed for application in infrared or terahertz range light modulators as well as in optically rewritable electronic paper. It was shown that the increase of the pretilt angle value results in rising of liquid crystal layer thickness from 6 to 33 μm corresponding two first Gooch–Tarry minima.

Keywords: liquid crystals, twist effect, orientation, visible, infrared, terahertz range of the spectrum, optically rewritable electronic paper
