1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first conductor;
a second conductor;
a third conductor;
a first charge responsive optical material between the first conductor and the second conductor;
a second charge responsive optical material between the second conductor and the third conductor; and
a controller configured to generate control signals, wherein a first alternating current having a first alternating charge is applied to the first conductor and a second alternating current having a second alternating charge out of phase with the first alternating current is applied to the second conductor in response to the control signals.
