  • Publication number: 20190277982
    Abstract: A first sensor panel, a second sensor panel, and a base are accommodated in a housing of an electronic cassette. Circuit substrates are mounted on a rear surface of the base. The base is made of a pitch-based carbon fiber reinforced resin obtained by impregnating a pitch-based carbon fiber with a matrix resin. The fiber directions of the pitch-based carbon fibers are aligned with one direction. Therefore, the base has high thermal conductivity in a direction parallel to the fiber direction. As a result, the driving heat of the circuit substrates is rapidly diffused to the entire rear surface.

  • Publication number: 20190277981
    Abstract: An electronic cassette has a configuration in which a first sensor panel and a second sensor panel are sequentially arranged in a thickness direction. The first sensor panel includes a first light detection substrate and a first scintillator. The periphery of the first scintillator is covered by a moisture-proof sealing layer. The sealing layer is made of a conductive material. The sealing layer is connected to the inner surface of a housing made of a conductive material through a connection portion. Therefore, the sealing layer has the same potential as the ground potential of the housing which is a reference potential and functions as a conductor layer.

  • Patent number: 9164180
    Abstract: In an electronic cassette, an FPD and a support substrate are accommodated in a housing. A signal processing circuit for processing signals from the FPD is formed in a circuit board. The circuit board is attached to the back of the support substrate. The support substrate is a carbon plate made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic and exhibits anisotropy in bending strength depending on a fiber direction of carbon fiber. Spacers are provided inside a rear case that constitutes the housing. The spacers form a space, between the support substrate and the housing, to accommodate the circuit board. The spacers are arranged to suppress or prevent bending of the support substrate in a direction of weak bending strength.
