We propose a two-directions electric field-driving method for thick-film liquid crystal devices for millimeter-wave phase modulation of reflect arrays. As a result, we show that it is possible to achieve a fast response of liquid crystal molecules and increase phase modulation due to electrode shape design and elastic orientation behavior.
