Kyocera Corporation announced the development of a groundbreaking meta-lens that uses metasurface-based optical control technology to manipulate focal positions depending on the wavelength of light. Leveraging this innovation, the company has created a prototype Wearable Aerial Display that combines a highly compact optical system with the ability to reproduce images featuring natural depth perception. The device will make its world premiere at CES 2026, held January 6-9 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
A meta-lens is an ultra-thin optical component built on a metasurface—a dense arrangement of pillar-shaped meta-atoms smaller than the wavelength of light. This design enables Kyocera to manufacture lenses less than 1mm thick, compared with conventional optical lenses that often exceed 1cm in thickness. By precisely engineering the meta-atoms, multiple optical functions such as wavelength control and phase modulation can be integrated into a single lens, dramatically reducing the number of components required.
