This paper studies (1 + u)-constacyclic codes over the ring F 2 + uF 2 + vF 2 + uvF 2. It is proved that the image of a (1+u)-constacyclic code of length n over F 2+uF 2+vF 2+uvF 2 under a Gray map is a distance invariant binary quasi-cyclic code of index 2 and length 4n. A set of generators of such constacyclic codes for an arbitrary length is determined. Some optimal binary codes are obtained directly from (1 + u)-constacyclic codes over F 2 + uF 2 + vF 2 + uvF 2.
