Metalens projection module
MetaOptics' metalens-enabled projection module shrinks the projection path, so a full-colour projector fits inside an ultra-thin phone. Turn any wall into your screen: presentations, sports games and movies, straight from your pocket.
What is MetaPhone?
Most phone cameras stack curved glass into a bump. MetaPhone uses flat metalenses from MetaOptics instead — so everything it sees, senses and projects fits inside a body with nothing sticking out.
MetaOptics metalens technology
A metalens focuses light with nano-scale pillars patterned onto a single sheet of glass. One flat surface replaces the lens stack. MetaOptics mass-produces them on 12-inch glass wafers using DUV immersion lithography.
That's why MetaPhone Pro's 5MP metalens camera module is just 12 × 12 × 2.9 mm and sits flush inside the body, with no bump. The same single-layer metalens handles colour imaging and touchless fingerprint recognition, and a metalens-enabled module powers the projector in both models.

Both are ultra-thin with no camera bump, a built-in projector, touchless 3D fingerprint unlock and MetaPhone OS. MetaPhone Pro adds MetaLens camera modules: a 12MP rear and a 5MP front AI camera.
Lite is built for focus and privacy, with the projector and MetaPhone OS. Pro adds the ultra-thin MetaLens camera modules.
A metalens is a flat lens made of nano-scale pillars patterned onto glass. It bends and focuses light like a stack of curved lenses — in a single, ultra-thin layer. MetaOptics designs and mass-produces metalenses on 12-inch glass wafers.
Conventional cameras stack several curved lenses on top of each other, and that stack is what sticks out. MetaPhone Pro uses a single flat metalens in a camera module just 2.9 mm high, so it sits flush with the body. MetaPhone Lite has no cameras at all.
MetaPhone Lite and MetaPhone Pro use a metalens-enabled projection module from MetaOptics. Flat metalenses shrink the projection path and deliver full RGB colour in a single optical stack, so the projector needs very little height.
Pricing, specifications and ship dates will be shared with reservers first, ahead of launch.
