22. An apparatus comprising:
-
a first conductor;
a second conductor;
a first charge responsive optical material between the first conductor and the second conductor; and
a controller configured to generate control signals, wherein a first time varying voltage is applied to the first conductor and a second time varying voltage is applied to the second conductor in response to the control signals and wherein a phase relationship of the first time varying voltage and the second time varying voltage is varied in response to the control signals. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
