Fig. 4 is a circuit implementation diagram of a pixel unit according to the present invention, which is a specific circuit implementation manner of the structural block diagram of the pixel unit shown in fig. 2. The single pixel includes: an electrical electrode 16, an electrical readout circuit 17, three types of chemical electrodes 18, a chemical readout circuit 19, a compensation circuit 20, a photosensitive device 21, an optical readout circuit 22, a stimulation electrode 23, a stimulation buffer 24 and a comparator 25.

The electrical electrode 16 in the pixel can directly collect the nerve electrical signal, and the electrical signal is transmitted to the electrical readout circuit 17 for amplification; the three types of chemical electrodes 18 respectively collect three types of different ion concentrations through three types of ion sensitive membranes, and convert the chemical quantity into an electrical quantity, and the electrical quantity is amplified through a chemical readout circuit 19; the photosensitive device can acquire light intensity signals, the received signals are weaker for the photosensitive device below the cell, on the contrary, the light intensity of other positions is stronger, the photosensitive device generates corresponding electric quantity according to the light intensity, and the amplified signals are obtained through the optical reading circuit 22; the stimulating electrode 23 may deliver the stimulating current in the buffer 24 to the periphery of the nerve cell.
The circuit implementation of the pixel cell has a compact structure and the ability to read signals simultaneously. After the electrical, chemical and optical signals are converted into electrical quantities, the electrical quantities are buffered or amplified through a reading circuit, the amplified signals are compared with triangular waves through a comparator 25 through time division multiplexing control logic to obtain pulse width modulation PWM waves, and the PWM waves are finally transmitted to a bus under the control of a three-state gate. The front-end readout circuit should have a good signal-to-noise ratio, can amplify weak signals, can provide undistorted buffering for larger signals, and simultaneously provides sufficient driving capability for subsequent circuits. The comparator in the circuit has higher amplification factor and can provide quick pull-up and pull-down capability, and the pixel unit can be miniaturized and the pixel power consumption can be reduced by multiplexing the comparator. In addition, between the electrical and chemical circuits, there is a compensation circuit 20, which eliminates the forward electrical interference in chemistry by using the reverse electrical signal, obtains an undisturbed chemical signal, and realizes the simultaneous reading of the electrical and chemical signals.

The electrical stimulation generator 4 receives instructions from the finite state machine and the digital control logic 6 to generate a corresponding stimulation waveform. The specific implementation can use a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the input end is a digital signal, the output is a stimulation waveform, and the higher the precision of the DAC is, the more accurate the stimulation waveform is. At the same time, the buffers in the in-pixel stimulation unit need to have sufficient bandwidth to reduce the distortion of the stimulation waveform.
