According to foreign media reports, Japan's Toyohashi University of Technology and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University have jointly developed a flexible, multi-point Micro LED array film that can be flexibly adhered to It is attached to the brain and illuminates a specific area of the brain. It is expected to be free from the constraints of time and space, and to freely control complex brain activities. It has broad application prospects in the field of optogenetics.

The overall size of the flexible Micro LED film is less than 100 μm and the thickness is several μm. Even in the case of bending, the Micro LED can maintain the same performance. In addition, the researchers demonstrated that when the flexible Micro LED film is covered on the surface of the mouse brain, bright blue light can be obtained and used in practical optogenetic experiments.
Menurut laporan, dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, dengan perkembangan teknologi optogenetik, cahaya dapat mewujudkan kontrol aktivitas saraf, tetapi teknologi ini membutuhkan penggunaan sumber cahaya yang tipis, fleksibel, dan tidak berbahaya bagi jaringan hidup. Film Micro LED baru yang dikembangkan oleh tim peneliti Jepang sangat cocok untuk penelitian semacam ini. Para peneliti berharap bahwa teknologi Micro LED yang fleksibel ini akan menciptakan bidang baru penelitian ilmu saraf, dengan tujuan untuk memahami secara komprehensif aktivitas, perilaku, dan gangguan saraf yang mendasarinya. informasi otak.
Temuan ini dipublikasikan dalam jurnal Applied Physics Press pada 18 Maret.
