  • Patent number: 9535170
    Abstract: In a scintillator panel, a glass substrate with the thickness of not more than 150 ?m serves as a support body, thereby achieving excellent radiotransparency and flexibility and also relieving a problem of thermal expansion coefficient. Furthermore, in this scintillator panel, an organic resin layer is formed so as to cover a one face side and a side face side of the glass substrate and an organic resin layer is formed so as to cover an other face side and the side face side of the glass substrate on which the organic resin layer is formed. This effectively prevents the edge part from chipping or cracking. Furthermore, stray light can be effectively prevented from entering the side face of the glass substrate and, the entire surface thereof is covered by the organic resin layers, so that warping of the glass substrate can be suppressed.

Furthermore, in this scintillator panel, an organic resin layer is formed so as to cover a one face side and a side face side of the glass substrate. This reinforces the glass substrate, whereby the edge part thereof can be prevented from chipping or cracking. Furthermore, stray light can be prevented from entering the side face of the glass substrate, while transparency is ensured for light incident to the other face side of the glass substrate because the organic resin layer is not formed on the other face side of the glass substrate.
