Title:
BUILT-IN-EYE EYESIGHT STIMULATING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/067829
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A built-in-eye eyesight stimulating apparatus capable of generating a pulse signal of both electrodes with a simple configuration and having a high sensitivity, small size, and low power consumption. The built-in-eye eyesight stimulating apparatus for artificially generating eyesight or a part of eyesight comprises a photoelectric conversion circuit for converting incident light into an electric signal, a pulse conversion circuit for converting the electric signal output from the photoelectric conversion circuit into an electric pulse signal of frequency in accordance with the signal intensity, a waveform rectifier circuit for converting the pulse signal output from the pulse conversion circuit into a pulse signal of both electrodes, and a power supply circuit for supplying power to the respective circuits, so that a pulse signal of both electrodes is given to a retina portion via electrodes.
