  • Publication number: 20240069220
    Abstract: Provided is a scintillator panel with reduced deterioration in brightness due to irradiation and higher brightness. A scintillator panel including a substrate and a scintillator layer containing phosphors, in which the scintillator layer includes a binder resin having a ?-conjugated structure composed of seven or more atoms; in which the glass transition temperature of the binder resin is from 30 to 430° C.; and the thickness of the scintillator layer is from 50 to 800 ?m.

  • Patent number: 10741298
    Abstract: A scintillator panel has a barrier rib structure, whereby opposing light-receiving substrates can be aligned with high precision and bonded with a photoelectric conversion element. In the scintillator panel, cells demarcated by lattice shaped barrier ribs formed on a sheet-shaped base member are filled with a phosphor for receiving radiation and emitting light, thereby configuring a pixel structure. The scintillator panel has portions in which the lattice-shaped barrier ribs are exposed on both a front surface and a back surface in a portion of a non-display region of the panel external periphery. The exposed parts are optically transparent.

  • Patent number: 10132937
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional structure, a method for manufacturing a scintillator panel, a three-dimensional structure, and a scintillator panel that enable the type and thickness of a substrate of the scintillator panel to be selected freely. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional structure, by which a three-dimensional structure is obtained by forming a glass pattern on a base member and then separating the glass pattern from the base member.
