Abstract: The invention provides a pattern forming method and a pattern forming apparatus which can form a micro pattern at a low cost. The pattern forming apparatus has a member in which a printing pattern is formed on a surface and at least the surface having the printing pattern formed thereon is siliconized, a resin supplying means for supplying a resin to one face of the surface having the pattern formed thereon in the member, and a supporting means for supporting a subject to be printed so as to transcribe the resin supplied to the member on the subject to be printed. The siliconization is achieved by arranging a silicone rubber, a silicone resin or a silicone sheet on the surface of the member. The member is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape.

Abstract: A 2-dimensional radiation image detector wherein a plurality of conversion elements for converting a radiation into visible light and a plurality of photo-sensitive elements for detecting the visible light and accumulating signals are formed an elements board includes two elements boards arranged in an overlapping relationship with each other and each having the plurality of photo-sensitive elements arranged two-dimensionally thereon such that the distance between centers of the photo-sensitive elements in one direction of the arrangement is substantially equal to a width of the photo-sensitive elements while the distance between the centers of the photo-sensitive elements in a direction perpendicular to the one direction is substantially equal to twice the width of the photo-sensitive elements and such that that portion of a radiation directed upon the two overlapping elements boards which has passed through a first one of the elements boards other than locations of the photo-sensitive elements is detected b
