The pretilt angle and the anchoring strength are one of the most important parameter in LCDs. However, in the case of amorphous and homeotropic alignment LCDs, it is difficult to evaluate these parameter by means of conventional measurement method due to their non-umniformity of the directors under the applied voltages. We reported the relationship between capacitance versus applied voltage (C-V) characteristics and the polar anchoring strength. In this paper, we report the evaluation method of the pretilt angle and the polar anchoring strength of these LCDs simultaneously by fiting the theoretical values to the data obtained by the measurement of C-V characteristics of these LCDs. The theoretical values are calculated by using a computer simulation based on the elastic continuum theory.
