  • Patent number: 11747490
    Abstract: A radiation detector includes a sensor substrate in which a plurality of pixels for accumulating electric charges generated in response to light converted from radiation is formed in a pixel region of a flexible base material; a conversion layer that is provided on a first surface provided with the pixel region of the base material and converts the radiation into light; an absorption layer that is provided on a side opposite to a side to which the radiation is radiated in a laminate in which the sensor substrate and the conversion layer are laminated and absorbs influence of irregularities generated on the conversion layer on the sensor substrate; and a rigid plate that is provided on a side of the absorption layer opposite to a side facing the laminate and has a higher stiffness than the sensor substrate. Provided are a radiation detector and a radiographic imaging apparatus capable of improving the quality of a radiographic image.

  • Patent number: 11624844
    Abstract: In a sensor substrate, a plurality of pixels are formed in a pixel region of a first surface of a flexible base material, and a terminal portion for electrically connecting a cable is provided in the terminal region of the first surface. A conversion layer is provided outside the terminal region of the base material and converts radiation into light. A reinforcing member is provided on a second surface of the base material to reinforce the strength of the base material. A stress neutral plane adjusting member is provided inside the terminal region and in at least a part, corresponding to the inside of the terminal region, of a cable electrically connected to the terminal portion.

  • Publication number: 20220102399
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a radiographic imaging apparatus, including: providing a flexible base material on a support body and forming a substrate in which pixels are provided in a pixel region of a first surface of the base material; providing a terminal portion for connecting a cable on the first surface; connecting a circuit board for reading the electric charges from the pixels or driving the pixels to the terminal portion via the cable; peeling the substrate from the support body; and using a transport jig including a suction unit having suction members and a holding part having a holding member, to suction and support the first surface or a second surface opposite to the first surface with the suction members, and transporting the substrate peeled from the support body in a state where the circuit board is held by the holding member.
