MetaOptics Ltd., a pioneering company dedicated to semiconductor optics, is set to unveil five innovative products powered by cutting-edge metalens technology at CES 2026, taking place from January 6-9 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This reveal highlights the company's commitment to revolutionizing the consumer electronics market with advanced optical solutions that blend functionality with sleek design.
1. The 5G Mobile Smartphone
Leading the showcase is the highly anticipated 5G Mobile Smartphone, equipped with a remarkably thin optical module devoid of the traditional camera bump. This design utilizes heat-resistant metalens glass, enhancing the overall durability and aesthetic appeal of the device. A standout feature of this smartphone is its non-contact 3D biometric fingerprint module, which offers a secure and touch-free experience, making it a unique offering in a crowded market. The smartphone is powered by the robust Qualcomm Dragonwing QCM6490 chip, specifically optimized to provide seamless integration across various IoT platforms and operating systems.
2. Rectangular Metalens on a 12-Inch Glass Wafer
MetaOptics will also showcase a cutting-edge rectangular metalens positioned on a 12-inch glass wafer. Designed to align precisely with standard CMOS sensors, this innovative product enables full-area image capture without edge losses. As a result, it promises superior color resolution and reliability in a compact, easy-to-manufacture module — a significant step forward in optics technology.
3. AI Smart Glasses
Another highlight will be the AI Smart Glasses, powered by the Qualcomm AR1 Snapdragon processor. These smart glasses utilize a compact color metalens camera system that promotes precise image tracking while allowing users to capture images effortlessly through gesture controls. The integration of this technology positions MetaOptics as a frontrunner in the augmented reality space, appealing to tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
4. Second Generation MetaOptics Pico Projector
Additionally, the second generation of the MetaOptics Pico Projector will make its debut. Promoted as one of the smallest portable projectors on the market, it is designed to be approximately half the size of its predecessor while incorporating USB-C connectivity, fanless operation, and low power consumption. This projector sets a new benchmark for miniaturized projection, merging convenience with high-quality performance, perfect for on-the-go presentations and entertainment.
5. Enhanced Image Sharpening Algorithm
MetaOptics will also unveil an enhanced image sharpening algorithm developed in collaboration with a Taiwanese AI firm. This advanced algorithm operates on Nvidia GPU technology to significantly refine the quality of color images captured by the company’s IoT cameras, ensuring that users enjoy improved clarity and detail in their photos compared to previous enhancements.
CEO Thng Chong Kim expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We continue to break new ground and push the limits of metalens technology, redefining what's possible in everyday electronic devices. The innovations we are debuting at CES 2026 highlight our dedication to creating powerful optical solutions that are both thinner and more practical for users. Our advancements in nanophotonics are setting new standards and benchmarks within the industry."
