Abstract

The present invention relates to a photosensitive implant comprising at least one pixel (10) having at least one diode (12, 12′), a stimulating electrode (14), a counter electrode (18), and a resistor (16), wherein the resistance of the resistor (16) is chosen according to a predetermined relation of resistance, a size of the stimulating electrode (14), and a size of the diode (12, 12′). Further, the present invention concerns a method to provide such an implant.
