An optical component () comprising a planar metasurface () arranged on a surface of a first substrate () and a top layer () arranged in a height direction Z above the metasurface (), wherein the metasurface () comprises an array () of scattering structures (), wherein the array () is a repeating pattern of unit cells (), wherein a unit cell () comprises at least two different scattering structures wherein the optical properties of the metasurface () are controllable by a control signal, wherein first scattering structures () are at least partially contacting a layer of a first substance () having a first refractive index and second scattering structures () are at least partially contacting a layer of a second substance (), which differs from the first substance () and which provides a variable refractive index depending on the control signal.
