Abstract :
Retinal prostheses have been ardently desired to recover the sight sense for sight-handicapped people. In our study, we have proposed an retinal prosthesis using poly-Si thin-film transistors. Particularly in this presentation, we will report a retinal prosthesis of frequency modulation, which is preferable to interconnect neuron cells because the neuron cells transfer the signal by frequency modulation.
