In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development of biomimetic artificial systems that mimic the advanced functions of biological systems. This study focuses on the development of a visual sensor using the light-receptive membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin (bR) extracted from the cell membrane of highly halophilic bacteria. Due to bR's limited resistance to traditional semiconductor processes, we established a technique using inkjet patterning under mild conditions to efficiently pattern bR. Based on this method, a visual sensor was developed. This presentation will report in detail on the fabrication process, characteristics, and functionality of the sensor.
