  • Publication number: 20120032088
    Abstract: A stacked-type detection apparatus including a plurality of pixels arranged at small intervals is configured to have low capacitance associated with signal lines and/or driving lines. With this novel configuration, small time constant and high-speed driving capability can be achieved in the signal lines and/or driving lines. The plurality of pixels in the detection apparatus are arranged in a row direction and a column direction on an insulating substrate. Each pixel includes a conversion element and a switch element, the conversion element is disposed above the switch element. A driving line disposed below the conversion elements is connected to switch elements arranged in the row direction, and a signal line is connected to switch elements arranged in the column direction. The signal line includes a conductive layer embedded in an insulating member, the insulating member is disposed in a layer lower than an uppermost surface portion of the driving line.

  • Publication number: 20110248176
    Abstract: A detection apparatus comprising a substrate; a switching element arranged over the substrate and including a plurality of electrodes; a conductive line arranged over the substrate and electrically connected to a first electrode of the plurality of electrodes of the switching element; and a conversion element including a semiconductor layer arranged over the switching element and the conductive line and arranged between two electrodes, one electrode of the two electrodes being electrically connected to a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes of the switching element, is provided. The one electrode of the conversion element is arranged over the switching element and the conductive line through a space formed between the one electrode and the first electrode of the switching element or between the one electrode and the conductive line.

  • Publication number: 20110134289
    Abstract: In an image pickup apparatus including a plurality of pixels arranged a matrix of rows and columns, a correction unit performs a correction process based on an electric signal output via a first switch element of a particular pixel and a correction electric signal output via a second switch element of the particular pixel. A correction image signal based on the correction electric signal output via the second switch element is acquired in a period that partially overlaps in time a period in which an image signal based on the electric signal output via the first switch element is acquired. When the electric signal associated with the image signal is output for the particular pixel, the second switch element of the particular pixel is controlled to be in an on-state over a period during which the first switch element of the particular pixel is in an off-state.
