CMOS-integrated organic neuromorphic imagers for high-resolution dual-modal imaging.

Simultaneously capturing static images and processing dynamic visual information within a single sensor enables a more comprehensive and efficient acquisition of scene information, thereby enhancing the understanding and processing of complex scenes. However, current artificial visual systems present significant challenges in device integration and multimodal operation. Here, we developed a 640×512-pixel CMOS-integrated organic neuromorphic imager featuring dual modes: standard (frame-based imaging) and synaptic (neuromorphic imaging). In synaptic mode, the system extracts high-resolution spatiotemporal maps (light distribution and motion trajectories) from final frames, decoding temporal sequences of light events through contrast analysis. The neuromorphic device demonstrates adjustable memory behavior through modulation of charge recombination-trapping dynamics, enabling multi-level memory functionality. We further developed a CMOS-compatible photolithography method, which supports high-resolution and non-destructive patterning of organic neuromorphic devices. The fabricated imager allows in-sensor memorization (>18 min) and real-world spatiotemporal imaging with reduced computation resource, demonstrating its potential for industrial monitoring and motion detection.
