SummaryA model for the orientational-order parameter in liquid crystals from the microscopic viewpoint and in conformity with its current understanding well established in the field of phase transitions is proposed here. This model has a close resemblance with the original ideas of Maier and Saupe. However, it is independent of the nature of molecules, rigid or flexible, and enables us to describe a phase with a single-order parameter tensor
