    A liquid crystal-integrated programmable metasurface beam deflector that exhibits a tunable deflection angle is designed, which combines a liquid crystal and Huygens resonant metasurface. Simulated results demonstrate that, compared with the same thickness liquid crystal, Huygens resonant metasurface increases the achievable range of phase control by a factor of ~1.87. Furthermore, a 32-channel liquid crystal-integrated metasurface beam deflector is encoded using periodic and arbitrary coding methods, thereby achieving beam scanning with a field of view of 20° and providing a potential solution for solid-state beam scanning.
