Abstract
We have evaluated an artificial retina using thin-film transistors driven by wireless power supply. It is found that the illumination profile can be correctly detected as the output voltage profile even if it is driven using unstable power source generated by inductive coupling, diode bridge, and Zener diodes. This means the feasibility to implant the artificial retina into human eyeballs.
