The transition process between bistable states in the bistable nematic (Bi-Nem) cell based on the anchoring breaking phenomenon has been strictly simulated by computer. In our simulation, the surface tilt angle dependence of the contribution of azimuthal anchoring to the surface free energy density has been taken into account. This leads to success to reproduce the bistable operation of the Bi-Nem cells by the computer simulation. As a result, it has been clarified that in the transition process from the uniform state to the twisted state, the molecular orientation takes the 270 [deg.] twisted state at first and then changes toward the 180 [deg.] twisted state. From our simulations, it is confirmed that the bistable transition occurs in a limited regions of polar and azimuthal anchoring energies on the slave plate.
