Patent number: 9535170Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Hidenori Jonishi, Munenori Shikida, Yutaka Kusuyama
