LG is working on Meta Lens: reducing the size of the camera without losing quality

company LG It works on various technologies, some of which are related to cameras. According to new evidence, the Koreans are developing a new type of lens for cameras are called “Metalens” and can revolutionize the market of photography and video cameras.

Therefore New reportsOver the past few years, LG has made investments in several different sectors, including robotics, electric cars, and even making batteries for its rival, Samsung. But the Korean giant has also invested in other areas, one of which is related to a kind of technology to reduce the size of cameras thanks to a kind of lens.

LG company is looking for transformation in the camera market

The traditional lenses that exist in many cameras, video cameras and even mobile phones are curved type with plastic or glass material. Instead, however, MetaLens technology allows the use of Flat glass lenses to the camera manufacturer. The important thing here is that using a meta lens does not reduce the quality of the camera.

Glass meta lenses with Nano microscopic particles It is covered, which affects the light entering the image sensor of the device. In fact, these nanoparticles make the flat lenses work like curved lenses and reflect light in the same way. Nevertheless, the use of this technology makes the camera module take up less space and the size of the cameras decreases without losing quality.

If phones are equipped with such technology, many new models can be designed without protruding camera modules. This means that we can even see a lot of phones with less thickness. However, LG has not yet announced when this technology will be available.

After leaving the mobile market, LG decided to focus on the development of its remaining divisions. In the meantime, some of LG’s ideas are becoming reality, one of which is Meta Lens technology.
