  • Flexible digital detector array
    Patent number: 12352709
    Abstract: A flexible digital detector array apparatus including a control system including a block control module, a gate control module, and at least one data module. The block control module and the gate control module can be arranged to execute a multiplexing operation. The apparatus can also include a flexible substrate coupled to the control system at an edge of the flexible substrate via a plurality of connectors. The flexible substrate can include a switching area including a plurality of switching pixels arranged within a plurality of blocks. Each switching pixel can be communicatively coupled to the block control module and the gate control module. The apparatus can also include a sensing area including an array of sensing pixels. The array of sensing pixels can generate image data responsive to X-rays incident thereon and provide the image data to the plurality of data modules. Each switching pixel of the plurality of switching pixels can be arranged to control a read state of a portion of sensing pixels.
