title: Bioinspired Ferroelectric Polymer Arrays as Photodetectors with Signal Transmissible to Neuron Cells.
abstract: A bioinspired photodetector with signal transmissible to neuron cells is fabricated. Photoisomerization of the dye molecules embedded in the ferroelectric polymer membrane achieves electric polarization change under visible light. The photodetector realizes high sensitivity, color recognition, transient response, and 3D visual detection with resolution of 25 000 PPI, and, impressively, directly transduces the signal to neuron cells.
