Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of detecting fine surface defects, including: applying nano phosphor paste on a surface of a subject; squeegeeing the surface of the subject such that the nano phosphor paste remains only in defects in the subject; and detecting the fine defects in the subject by placing the subject over a light detection plate, irradiating the subject with a light source, and then determining that light-emitting portions detected using the light detection plate are defects in the subject. The method of detecting fine surface defects is advantageous in that the problems with the conventional methods, such as surface contamination, the difficulty in realizing uniform application of a penetrant on a subject, the limitations on the dwelling time of the penetrant and the testing temperature (surface temperature of the subject: 16˜50° C.

Abstract: A structure of a TFT substrate for a high resolution digital x-ray detector, in which two TFT substrates are arranged to be a double substrate by overlapping each other such that an upper plate is moved ½ pixel distance with respect to a lower plate in a direction along one axis. Thus, a difference in movement between the upper and lower plates is a ½ pixel distance. Also, two virtual pixels are obtained from one pixel. Three TFT substrates are arranged to be a triple substrate by overlapping one another such that a middle plate is moved a ½ pixel distance with respect to a lower plate in a direction along an X axis and an uppermost plate is arranged by being moved a ½ pixel distance with respect to the lower plate in a direction along a Y axis. Thus, resolution is increased as data of one pixel is divided into four data to be analyzed and an measured value of a pixel of each overlapping substrate is compared.

Abstract: Provided is an X-ray image detector in which an organic conductive polymer layer which generates electron-hole pairs in reaction to a radioactive ray is employed as an X-ray receptor. In the X-ray image detector, organic conductive polymer substituting a-Se that is an existing photoconductive substance is used and a fluorescent layer diverging light of a visible ray area that is a polymer absorption wavelength band is combined, to detect an electric signal of a polymer having a photoconductive characteristic.
