Abstract

According to an aspect, a detection device includes: a substrate; a plurality of photodiodes, in each of which a lower electrode, a lower buffer layer, an active layer, an upper buffer layer, and an upper electrode are stacked in the order as listed, in a detection region of the substrate; and a protective film that covers the photodiodes. The protective film has a plurality of openings in the detection region.

Claims (24)

1 . A detection device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of photodiodes, in each of which a lower electrode, a lower buffer layer, an active layer, an upper buffer layer, and an upper electrode are stacked in the order as listed, in a detection region of the substrate; and

a protective film that covers the photodiodes, wherein

the protective film has a plurality of openings in the detection region.

2 . The detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of sensor pixels that are arranged in a matrix having a row-column configuration in the detection region and have the respective photodiodes, wherein

the openings are provided in regions overlapping the respective sensor pixels and are arranged in a matrix having a row-column configuration in the detection region.

3 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein areas of the openings are substantially equal.

4 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein a number per predetermined area of the openings decreases towards a center of the detection region.

5 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein an area of each of the openings at a central portion of the detection region is smaller than that of each of the openings at an outer edge portion of the detection region.

6 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the openings overlaps the lower buffer layer.

7 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the openings is provided in a region surrounded by gate lines and signal lines.

8 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the protective film comprises an inorganic insulating film and an organic insulating film.

9 . A detection device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of photodiodes, in each of which a lower electrode, a lower buffer layer, an active layer, an upper buffer layer, and an upper electrode are stacked in the order as listed, in a detection region of the substrate; and

a protective film that covers the photodiodes, wherein

an organic photodiode (OPD) layer in which the lower electrode, the lower buffer layer, the active layer, the upper buffer layer, and the upper electrode are stacked is provided in the detection region of the substrate and a peripheral region adjacent to the detection region, and

the OPD layer includes a first groove that extends along an outer edge of the detection region and a second groove that is provided between the first groove and an outer edge of the peripheral region.

10 . The detection device according to claim 9 , wherein the protective film comprises an inorganic insulating film and an organic insulating film.

11 . A method for manufacturing a detection device, the method comprising:

stacking a circuit forming layer, a photodiode, a protective film, and a resist layer on one surface of a substrate in the order as listed;

exposing the resist layer from another surface side opposite to the one surface of the substrate using a non-light-transmitting pattern included in the circuit forming layer as a mask; and

removing an exposed region of the resist layer that does not overlap the non-light-transmitting pattern by developing the resist layer, and removing a portion of the protective film that does not overlap the resist layer.
