In this work, we investigate the influence of quasi-periodic modulation on the localization properties of one-dimensional non-Hermitian cross-stitch lattices with flat bands. The crystalline Hamiltonian for this non-Hermitian cross-stitch lattice is given by: $\hat{H}=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{n}\left[t(a_n^{\dagger} b_n + b_n^{\dagger}a_n ) + J{\mathrm{e}}^{h}\left(a_n^{\dagger}b_{n + 1} + a_n^{\dagger} a_{n + 1} + Ab_n^{\dagger}a_{n + 1} + Ab_n^{\dagger}b_{n + 1}\right) + J{\mathrm{e}}^{ - h} \left(Aa_{n + 1}^{\dagger}b_n + a_{n + 1}^{\dagger}a_n + b_{n + 1}^{\dagger}a_n + Ab_{n + 1}^{\dagger}b_n\right)\right] $ with$A =\pm 1$ . When A = 1, the clean lattice supports two bands with dispersion relations$E_0=- t, $ $ E_1=4\cos (k - {\mathrm{i}}h) + t$ . The compact localized states (CLSs) within the flat band E0 are localized in one unit cell, indicating that the system is characterized by the U = 1 class. Conversely, for A = –1, there are two flat bands in the system:$E_{\pm}=\pm\sqrt{t^2 + 4}$ . The CLSs within the flat bands are localized in two unit cells, indicating that the system is marked by the U = 2 class. After introducing quasi-periodic modulations$\varepsilon_n^{\beta}=\lambda_{\beta}\cos(2\pi\alpha n + \phi_{\beta})$ ($\beta=\{a,b\}$ ), delocalization-localization transitions can be observed by numerically calculating the fractal dimension D2 and imaginary part of the energy spectrum$\ln{|{\rm{Im}}(E)|}$ . Our findings indicate that the symmetry of quasi-periodic modulations plays an important role in determining the localization properties of the system. For the case of$U=1$ , the symmetric quasi-periodic modulation leads to two independent spectra$\sigma_f$ and$\sigma_p$ . The$\sigma_f$ retains its compact properties, while the$\sigma_p$ owns an extended-localized transition at$\lambda_{{\mathrm{c}}1}=4M$ with$M=\max\{{\mathrm{e}}^{h},\;{\mathrm{e}}^{ - h}\}$ . However, in the case of antisymmetric modulation, the system exhibits an exact mobility edge$\lambda_{{\mathrm{c}}2}=2\sqrt{2|E - t|M}$ . For the U = 2 class, all the eigenstates remain localized under any symmetric quasi-periodic modulation. In the case of antisymmetric modulation, all states transition from multifractal to localized states as the modulation strength increases, with a critical point at$\lambda_{{\mathrm{c}}3}=4M$ . This work expands the understanding of localization properties in non-Hermitian flat-band systems and provides a new perspective on delocalization-localization transitions.-
