Provided are a hybrid two-dimensional (2D) scanner system and a method of operating the same. The hybrid 2D scanner system includes a meta-surface based one-dimensional (1D) scanner and a mechanical scanner connected to the meta-surface based 1D scanner. In this scanner system, the mechanical scanner is operated as a 1D scanner. For this purpose, one of two rotational axes included in the mechanical scanner is maintained in a fixed position during a scanning operation. The meta-surface based 1D scanner may include a base substrate, a meta-surface that is arranged on the base substrate and includes a channel array, and a power supply configured to apply a voltage to the channel array.
