Mueller calculus is employed to find the conditions that govern linear polarization preservation and the linear to circular polarization transformation in a general twisted nematic LC cell. The results are applied to the design of both transmittive and reflective twisted nematic LCDs. New optimized optical modes are reported. This method provides a clear physical interpretation of all LCD modes.
