Abstract

This study proposed a two-direction electric field driving method for thick-film liquid crystal devices aimed at the millimeter-wave phase modulation of reflected arrays. The findings illustrate that a meticulous electrode shape design and strategic exploitation of the elastic orientation behavior yield both heightened liquid crystal molecule responsiveness and augmented phase modulation capabilities.
