Metalenz

Metalenz has been commercializing its metasurface technology since 2016. The Company’s “meta-optics” allow complex optical sensing solutions previously confined to scientific or medical labs, to be shrunk to a size and price point compatible with mobile. The tech company does this by combining the functionality of three or four complex lenses and components into a single flat device. Unlike traditional lenses, these optics are mass produced in existing semiconductor foundries—essentially printed like computer chips. Already in mass production and integrated in consumer devices with dot pattern projectors for facial recognition and lenses for 3D sensing, Metalenz is the first company to bring metasurfaces to mass markets.
