Abstract  Rapid developments in artificial intelligence trigger demands for perception and learning of external environments through visual perception systems. Neuromorphic devices and integrated system with photosensing and response functions can be constructed to mimic complex biological visual sensing behaviors. Here, recent progresses on optoelectronic neuromorphic memristors and optoelectronic neuromorphic transistors are briefly reviewed. A variety of visual synaptic functions stimulated on optoelectronic neuromorphic devices are discussed, including light-triggered short-term plasticities, long-term plasticities, and neural facilitation. These optoelectronic neuromorphic devices can also mimic human visual perception, information processing, and cognition. The optoelectronic neuromorphic devices that simulate biological visual perception functions will have potential application prospects in areas such as bionic neurological optoelectronic systems and intelligent robots.
