Abstract
A three-dimensional electrode device and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. A three-dimensional electrode device as disclosed can be in close contact with target cells in a retina without damaging the retina to apply electrical stimulation to the retina. The three-dimensional electrode device can include a board prepared to be inserted into a photoreceptor layer in an eyeball and formed of a transparent material; and a plurality of electrodes formed on the board and configured to stimulate a retina. The board can be prepared to be deformed corresponding to a shape of the retina and configured to make the electrodes be in close contact with the retina.
