Artificial retinas have been wished to regain the sense of sight for the visually impaired. Recently artificial retinas with external chambers, stimulus electrodes and large-scale three-dimensional integrations (LSIs) have been actively developed for patients with retinitis pigmentosa and age-related muscle degeneration. Thus, in this seminar, we will discuss the possibilities of the artificial retina with thin-film transistors (TFT), which can be made in transparent and flexible substrates. Electronic photo devices and circuits are integrated into the artificial retina, which is implanted into the inner surface of the living retina in the back of the human eyeballs. In addition, the wireless power supply is used to drive the object. This helps to eliminate the connection cables and to realize complete artificial internal organs to improve the quality of life. The artificial retina is developed for people with visual impairment, so they can recover their sight. It was developed with the help of external photographic devices (cameras) that functioned as a visual stimulus to the brain through the electrodes. The device was used as a substitute for cells in the retina of the eye. They were formulated using large-scale 3D integration, so that a person can receive the exact image of an object facing them.
