Uses “optical metasurfaces”

A new company called Metalenz, wants to disrupt smartphone cameras tech by using a single flat lens system that uses something it has dubbed optical metasurfaces.

The company says that a camera built around this new lens tech can produce an image of the same, if not better quality, as traditional lenses collect more light for brighter photos, and can even enable new forms of sensing in phones, all while taking up less space.

Instead of using plastic and glass lens elements stacked over an image sensor, Metalenz's design uses a single lens built on a glass wafer that is between 1x1 to 3x3 millimetre in size.
