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.
Prema izvješćima, posljednjih godina, s razvojem optogenetske tehnologije, svjetlo može ostvariti kontrolu neuralne aktivnosti, ali ova tehnologija zahtijeva korištenje izvora svjetlosti koji su tanki, fleksibilni i bezopasni za živo tkivo. Novi Micro LED film koji je razvio japanski istraživački tim vrlo je prikladan za ovakvu vrstu istraživanja. Istraživači očekuju da će ova fleksibilna Micro LED tehnologija stvoriti novo polje istraživanja neuroznanosti, s ciljem sveobuhvatnog razumijevanja temeljne neuralne aktivnosti, ponašanja i poremećaja. informacije o mozgu.
