Abstract: An image detecting device includes a substrate including plural accumulating portions, plural data lines, plural first protection lines, plural first diodes, and plural second diodes. The plural accumulating portions, due to the irradiation of incident electromagnetic waves expressing an image which is an object of detection, charges expressing the image are accumulated. In the plural data lines, the plural accumulating portions are respectively connected individually via switching elements. The plural first protection lines are for protecting a circuit from excess voltage. In the plural first diodes, anodes are connected to a portion of the plural first protection lines respectively, and cathodes are connected to the plural data lines respectively. In the plural of second diodes, cathodes are connected to another portion of the plural first protection lines respectively, and anodes are connected to the plural data lines respectively.

Abstract: An ink composition including a cationically polymerizable compound having a styryl or ?-methylstyryl group such as 4-methylstyrene and a photocationic polymerization initiator. The ink composition preferably further includes another cationically polymerizable compound having at least one group selected from oxirane and oxetane groups.

Abstract: An image detection device has an image detector equipped with a detection section having a charge generation section that receives irradiation of electromagnetic waves and generates charges, a storage capacitor in which two electrodes are disposed so as to oppose one another and which accumulates charges generated at the charge generation section, and a TFT switching element for reading out charges accumulated in the storage capacitor. At a time before a point in time of reading out of charges from the storage capacitor via the switching element of the image detector, a reference potential of the storage capacitor is varied by a variable Cs power source, and leak current sufficiently flows before reading out of a charge signal from the image detector. Leak current is thereby reduced sufficiently at a time of reading out the charge signal.

Abstract: A light receiving device and an image pickup device in which a plurality of light receiving devices are arranged are provided. The light receiving device comprises a single semiconductor substrate and a light receiving device that has a first photoelectric conversion part and a second photoelectric conversion part. The single semiconductor substrate comprises regions of a first conductivity type and regions of a second conductivity type in an alternately multiply stacked manner. Depths of each of the junction surfaces between the regions of first conductivity type and second conductivity type are formed at depths such that light mainly in the blue or red wavelength regions can be photo-electrically converted. The respective detected wavelengths of the first photoelectric conversion part and second photoelectric conversion part are longer than the central wavelength of the blue wavelength region, and shorter than the central wavelength of the red wavelength region.
