TL;DR

Neuromorphic optoelectronic vision systems inspired by biology show promise for in‑sensor computing, yet processing multi‑wavelength images in noisy environments with simple device configurations and light‑tunable plasticity remains challenging. A prototype visual sensor based on ferroelectric copolymer P(VDF‑TrFE) and 2D ReS₂ integrates recognition, memorization, and pre‑processing functions within a single device. The devices exhibit a 10⁹ current on/off ratio, 45 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ mobility, ferroelectric‑driven synaptic plasticity that yields 89 % digit‑recognition accuracy, wavelength‑selective object extraction raising image‑recognition from 72 % to 96 %, and low energy consumption comparable to a single biological event.

Abstract

Abstract Neuromorphic optoelectronic vision system inspired by the biological platform displays potential for in‐sensor computing. However, it is still challenge to process multiwavelength image in noisy environment with simple device configuration and light‐tunable biological plasticity. Here, a prototype visual sensor is demonstrated based on ferroelectric copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)) and 2D rhenium disulfide (ReS 2 ) with integration of recognition, memorization, and pre‐processing functions in the same device. Such synaptic devices achieve impressive electronic characteristics, including a current on/off ratio of 10 9 and mobility of 45 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . Various synaptic plasticity behaviors have been achieved owing to the switchable ferroelectricity, enabling them to establish an artificial neural network (ANN) with high digit recognition accuracy of 89%. Through constructing optoelectronic device array, object extraction is achieved with wavelength‐selective capability in noisy environment, closely resembling human retina for color recognition. Above outcomes bring a notable improvement in the image recognition rate from 72% to 96%. Besides, low energy consumption comparable to single biological event can be realized. With these multifunctional features, this work inspires highly integrated neuromorphic systems and the development of wavelength‐selective artificial visual platform.
