The company holds approximately 40 patents, along with additional proprietary intellectual property that has not been patented. Each patent has a useful life of seven years, with expiries spanning 2028 to 2030. In the colour lens space, MetaOptics is the first to enter mass production.
Leveraging 12-inch DUV immersion photolithography and direct laser writing adapted from semiconductor manufacturing, MetaOptics Ltd is well positioned to support high-volume, mass-market applications. Unlike most competitors, which typically produce infrared metalenses on silicon substrates using nanoimprint or standard photolithography, MetaOptics employs DUV immersion photolithography to achieve sub-120 nm nanostructures, enabling higher precision, better yield control, and scalability.
MetaOptics ranks 3rd globally among metalens companies with mass production capabilities and shipments in 2024 and 5th globally among metalens companies in 2024, reflecting its position as a leading player in the commercial metalens space.
Second placement just two months after IPO.
