A semi-empirical equation is developed to characterize the optical decay time of in-plane switching (IPS) and fringe field switching (FFS) liquid crystal displays. This equation takes the effects of elastic constants, cell gap, liquid crystal material, rubbing angle, and anchoring strength into account simultaneously. Good agreement between simulation and experiment is obtained. Moreover, this equation can be used to measure the twist elastic constant K-22 of liquid crystals. The measured temperature-dependent K-22 values of 5CB agree well with previously published results. Hence, our equation not only describes the response time of IPS and FFS cells but also provides a simple yet accurate method to determine the twist elastic constant of liquid crystal materials.
