In this study, we have focused on the development of biomimetic optical sensing devices using bacteriorhodopsin. In the previous study, we have reported inkjet patterning of the optical device via ink-jet patterning of bacteriorhodopsin using a material printer. We are trying to fabricate a visual information processing device by using the inkjet technique. On the device fabrication, inkjet technique will enable us to make thin film which has ideal morphology for visual information processing devices. Here, we report the printing frequency dependence on optical current intensity. The current intensity increased with increasing print frequency.
