Artificial retina implantation is an effective approach for vision recovery. However, current artificial retinas based on silicon technology are not compatible with the human biosystem. In this study, flexible photoresponsive ring oscillators (PROs) based on 2D semiconductor MoS2 were developed. These PROs efficiently produce light-intensity-dependent electrical pulses under natural light illuminations, providing a potential alternative for clinical trials due to their low power consumption and high tunability.
Artificial retina implantation provides an effective and feasible attempt for vision recovery in addition to retinal transplantation. The most advanced artificial retinas ever developed based on silicon technology are rigid and thus less compatible with the biosystem. Here we demonstrate flexible photoresponsive ring oscillators (PROs) based on the 2D semiconductor MoS2 for artificial retinas. Under natural light illuminations, arrayed PROs on flexible substrates serving as vision pixels can efficiently output light-intensity-dependent electrical pulses that are processable and transmittable in the human visual nerve system. Such PROs can work under low supply voltages below 1 V with a record-low power consumption, e.g. only 12.4 nW at a light intensity of 10 mW/cm2, decreased by similar to 500 times compared with that of the state-of-the-art silicon devices. Such flexible artificial retinas with a simple device structure, high light-to-signal conversion efficiency, ultralow power consumption, and high tunability provide an alternative prosthesis for further clinical trials.
