Organic semiconductors have emerged in the past two decades as promising materials for many technological applications. Thanks to their unique optoelectronic properties, they represent an ideal system to mimic natural photoreceptor functioning. This similarity has been exploited, on one hand, to realize organic-based devices for image detection, taking advantage of typical features of natural visual systems, such as trichromatic sensing; on the other hand, these materials can be interfaced with biological tissues for cell photo-stimulation, with the main goal of restoring light sensitivity in the case of retinas affected by photoreceptor degeneration.
在过去二十年中，有机半导体已成为许多技术应用中颇具前景的材料。由于其独特的光电特性，它们是模拟天然光感受器功能的理想系统。一方面，这种相似性已被用于利用天然视觉系统的典型特征（如三色传感）来实现用于图像检测的有机基器件；另一方面，这些材料可与生物组织连接以进行细胞光刺激，其主要目标是在受光感受器退化影响的视网膜中恢复光敏感性。
