Abstract:
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, traditional machine vision systems are facing challenges due to high power consumption, high latency, and low efficiency of redundant data processing. On the other hand, with traditional vision sensors it is difficult to obtain clear images in very bright or dark conditions. In this paper, we propose a bionic vision sensor based on a back-to-back structure, which realizes efficient optical information processing by simulating the adaptive mechanism of biological vision system. The device combines the carrier trapping property of polymethyl methacrylate with heterogeneous interface and the photosensitive property of quantum dots to simulate the biological synaptic behaviors, such as excitatory postsynaptic current, paired pulse facilitation, short-term plasticity, and long-term plasticity. Under dynamic light intensities (198.6 μW cm−2 to 8.32 mW cm−2), the device exhibits remarkable visual adaptive behaviors: enhancement of the current response by carrier accumulation in low light, and desensitization by inhibition of carrier migration through the interfacial electric field in strong light, with an adaptation rate (<40 s) significantly better than that of biological systems (2-30 min). The device array further enhances the contrast of its images in extreme light and the recognition accuracy in combination with artificial neural network is improved to 73.7% (dark-adapted) and 87.5% (light-adapted). The device provides a prospective strategy for the development of next generation of bionic vision devices, which have great potential for applications in fields such as smart driving and brain-like computing. © 2025 Author(s).
