General information
- Short Summary
- Breakthrough LLC from Kosovo has developed a novel periscope lens accessory that enables the use of a smartphone’s superior rear camera for front-facing recording and selfies. The company seeks licensing or technical cooperation with mobile accessory manufacturers, optical design firms, or innovation partners to finalize prototyping and prepare for commercialization. Two global companies are awaiting a working prototype to evaluate for potential licensing or acquisition.
- Full Description
-
Breakthrough LLC is a Kosovo-based company operating in the fields of optical instrument production, specialized design, and applied engineering R&D. The company is currently developing an innovative product called the Periscope Lens, an advanced optical accessory designed to enhance the usability of rear cameras on smartphones and tablets for front-facing use.
The Periscope Lens system includes:
A modular lens and prism assembly that redirects the light from the user-facing side to the device’s rear camera.
An optional fiber optic lighting module that channels the device’s rear flash toward the front-facing target, ensuring proper illumination during use.
A magnetic or mechanical mounting system that attaches to the device without requiring permanent modifications.
The system is currently in advanced design phase, with patent application preparations underway to protect the device’s structure and unique optical functionality. The accessory is intended for:
Content creators and vloggers
Online educators and telehealth providers
Technical support and video-based communication services
The company is seeking international partners to:
Co-develop the physical prototype and validate functionality
License the technology for manufacturing and distribution
Adapt the design for integration into consumer or professional-grade smartphone accessories - Advantages and Innovations
-
Redefines mobile camera use by allowing the rear camera to function as a front-facing camera without repositioning the device
Improves image quality for front-facing content creation by utilizing the more powerful rear camera system
Non-invasive and modular: attaches via magnet or clip without altering the device
Integrated optical lighting system ensures high-quality visuals in low light
Versatile applications: from consumer use to education, telemedicine, and remote technical assistance - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
- The ideal partner for Breakthrough LLC would be a company involved in the development, manufacturing, or distribution of mobile accessories or optical components. The partner is expected to collaborate in finalizing the prototype design and support the transition toward market-ready production. Two potential licensing partners have already been identified and are actively awaiting the prototype for assessment, which could significantly accelerate the commercialization phase. Depending on the partnership model, the partner may also license the technology for integration into their own product lines or provide technical feedback to adapt the solution to specific use cases. Companies with experience in smartphone hardware integration, optical lens systems, or accessory engineering are particularly well-suited. The partner should ideally have in-house R&D capabilities or close ties to manufacturing and distribution channels in the consumer electronics or imaging sectors.
