“…The inclination angles increase with the decrease of the working voltage. Due to the electrowetting saturation, the inclination angle and varies from 160° to 45° independently under action of specific voltage combination [15]. It is easily to find that the corresponding scanning field of view increases with the inclination angles Set the inclination angles as fixed value 30°, and rotate the two interfaces (Π 1 , Π 2 ) clockwise or counterclockwise.…”

A beam scanner based on electrowetting with controllable field of view is designed. Depending on the first-order paraxial approximation, the scanning path and scanning radius of the beam scanner are derived. Its physical model and properties are established and analyzed with the help of by using the COMSOL and MATLAB. The results show that the scanning beam emitting from the beam scanner realizes 360° scanning freely, and its controllable field of view varies from 0 to 65.3 m successfully under the action of working voltage. The two liquid interfaces in the beam scanner can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise independently, and their inclination angle ranges from 0° to 45°. When the two liquid interfaces turn in the same direction, the scanning effect of edge field is better than that of the central zone. While the scanning effect of the central area is greatly improved and better than that of the edge field when the two liquid interfaces turn in the different direction. In addition, the rotation frequencies of the two interfaces affect the performance of the beam scanner.
