  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230408711
    Abstract: Disclosed is a scintillator panel comprising a substrate, a grid-like barrier rib formed on the substrate, a phosphor layer in cells divided by the barrier rib, and a reflective layer surrounding the side and the bottom of the phosphor layer, the scintillator panel comprising a part where the reflective layer surrounding the side of the phosphor layer is curved and a part where opposing surfaces of the reflective layer at the side of the phosphor layer are approximately parallel, wherein a ratio in a width direction of a part where the reflective layer at the bottom of the phosphor layer is curved to a part where the reflective layer at the bottom of the phosphor layer is flat is 10.0:0 to 1.0:9.0. The brightness of the scintillator panel is improved.
