MetaOptics Ltd, a Singapore-based semiconductor optics company, has reached a significant milestone by securing design evaluation orders for its metalenses and modules from prominent global customers. This development marks a shift from initial interest to active engagement in metalens technology, as highlighted in the company’s 2025 annual report.
The company has been qualified as a direct supplier to a major South Korean consumer electronics firm following a comprehensive testing and evaluation process. MetaOptics has completed the metalens design optimisation phase, with the customer currently reviewing system parameters and specifications. The company’s engineers are collaborating closely with the customer to integrate into the product launch cycle.
Additionally, MetaOptics has submitted a proposal to a leading European engineering and technology company for metalens-powered particle sensing solutions. These customised metalenses, with a diameter of less than 1mm, are set to be manufactured using the company’s advanced 12-inch DUV immersion photolithography process.
In Europe, MetaOptics is in discussions with a semiconductor foundry to potentially deploy its automatic metalens tester, aiming to bolster the region’s semiconductor ecosystem. The company has also sold a sample of its monochrome wide-angle IoT infrared metalens camera development kit to a South Korean vehicle intelligence sensing company.
Executive Chairman Thng Chong Kim expressed commitment to further commercialising metalenses and expanding international networks, supported by shareholder backing for a proposed Nasdaq dual listing. MetaOptics continues to explore opportunities to enhance its presence in high-growth sectors.
