The implantable metaverse, defined as using implantable devices to access the metaverse, is the focus of this article. An implantable metaverse composed of an epiretinal implant and bionic vision processing is proposed. One main contribution is the complete simulation of the human visual pathway, encompassing retinal imaging and the human visual cortex. This is crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of natural vision. Other simulations primarily focus on retinal imaging, which is only a limited portion of the visual pathway. Other improvements include a more general application scenario and great performance in depth perception.

The authors propose a soft contact lens-type artificial iris actuated by an eternal UV (ultra-violet) light source, self-regulating its effective aperture size by varying the crosslinking density of a bio-compatible polymer matrix doped with photochromic dye. For self-regulating characteristics, they cured a HEMA-based polymer matrix gradually from center to edge. Since the polymer matrix is polymerized by heat, they utilized an NIR (near infra-red) lamp and gradient grayscale patterned photomask for its gradual characteristic. The manufactured artificial iris shows advantage in blocking UV light, self-regulating, and fast-switching dynamics.

This paper reports a novel anti-bacteria and anti-virus liquid-crystal display with a ratio that can reach 99.99% for both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, its anti-virus ratio can attain above 91.36% for H3N2 and 96.45% for H1N1 viruses, respectively. Its optical properties, such as transmission and reflection, are all quite similar to displays without antibacterial and anti-virus treatments. This kind of technology can be used for touch and interactive displays such as tablets, cellphones, public interaction screens, and so on.

The authors propose an IGZO TFT with a multi-layered gate dielectric for X-ray FPDs. Because the TFT structure reduces the effects on the gate insulator under X-ray irradiation while also reducing the threshold voltage shift induced in the IGZO layer under X-ray irradiation, a very high radiation resistance is obtained. An FPD comprising the proposed TFTs is ideal for use in not only the medical imaging field but also non-destructive inspection.
