Abstract: 

Theoretical investigation of angular dispersed of scattered light in polymer dispersed nematic liquid crystals with rather value of optical transmittance was presented in this article. Multiple light scattering was simulated by Monte-Carlo technique using differential cross section of liquid crystal droplet as a phase function. The obtained results have laid in the limits of experimental data and theoretical simulation based on anomalous diffraction approach.
