MetaOptics Ships Metalens-Integrated 5G Smartphones and AI Glasses for EvaluationPreviousNext

MetaOptics Ltd. has started shipping evaluation units of its metalens-integrated 5G smartphones and AI smart glasses to customers in Europe, Japan, and the Philippines. These glass-based metalenses replace traditional bulky lenses with a single ultra-thin layer, enabling thinner, smaller, and more heat-resistant optical modules. The shipments allow consumer electronics brands and manufacturers to test the technology for potential integration into future products across various sectors, including smartphones, AR/VR wearables, and automotive sensing. MetaOptics aims to use customer feedback to refine its products and advance mass adoption of metalens technology.
