1. A device for stimulating neural regeneration, comprising:

  • a photovoltaic component having a substrate, a first conductive layer, an active layer and a second conductive layer stacked in sequence; and

    an encapsulant for encapsulating the photovoltaic component with a portion of the first conductive layer and a portion of the second conductive layer exposed from the encapsulant, wherein the device is configured to be placed at a damaged portion of a nerve, and when the encapsulated photovoltaic component of the device is illuminated by light, a photovoltage exists between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer for producing an electric current, so as to stimulate neural regeneration of and repair the damaged portion of the nerves.
