Research Abstract |
We have studied to create a practical device using retinoids (retinal, retinoic acid and retinol) in the human eyes which respond to light with extremely high speed and in high efficiency. These functions are realized by assist of opsin. In order to mimic this mechanism, we fabricated laminated mono-molecular film of retinoic acid and chitosan by using a layer-by-layer self-assembly process. The external quantum efficiency of the photocurrent response of biophotonic devices that use retinoids was realized.
