To determine the tilt angle in a twisted nematic liquid-crystal cell, the transmission of the cell is calculated as a function of the angle of incidence of a light beam of given wavelength λ using apparent values of the thickness of the cell cavity, of the extraordinary index and of the twist angle, in order to obtain a plurality of simulation curves, one per given pretilt angle, the transmission curve is measured as a function of the angle of incidence of the cell along the axis passing through the top and bottom positions of the cell, for the light beam of wavelength λ, using a contrast meter, and the coincidence between this measurement curve and a curve from among the plurality of simulation curves gives the pretilt angle of this cell.
