Abstract

A radiography apparatus includes a substrate on which a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels that accumulate charges generated in response to incident radiations are arranged is formed on one surface of a flexible base material, a housing which accommodates the substrate and includes a front portion having an incident surface through which the radiations are incident on the substrate, a first buffer layer which is disposed between the front portion and the substrate in a thickness direction of the housing, the first buffer layer having an outer circumference provided inside the pixel region of the substrate in a plan view, and a structure which is disposed between the front portion and the substrate in the thickness direction at a position overlapping with the first buffer layer.

Claims (21)

1. A radiography apparatus comprising:

a substrate on which a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels that accumulate charges generated in response to incident radiations are arranged is formed on one surface of a flexible base material;

a housing which accommodates the substrate and includes a front portion having an incident surface through which the radiations are incident on the substrate;

a first buffer layer which is disposed between the front portion and the substrate in a thickness direction of the housing, the first buffer layer having an outer circumference provided inside the pixel region of the substrate in a plan view; and

a structure which is disposed between the front portion and the substrate overlaps the first buffer layer in the thickness direction;

wherein the first buffer layer is joined to a substrate side via a joining member formed in a frame shape along the outer circumference.

2. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first buffer layer is held on a substrate side, and

the structure is held on a housing side.

3. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a thickness of the first buffer layer is equal to or more than 0.06 mm and equal to or less than 0.6 mm.

4. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a drive circuit which outputs a drive signal for reading out the charges accumulated in the plurality of pixels; and

a readout circuit which reads out the charges from the plurality of pixels in response to the drive signal,

wherein the structure is a protective member that protects at least a part of the drive circuit and the readout circuit from the radiations.

5. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first buffer layer is a porous member.

6. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second buffer layer that is provided on an opposite side of the substrate from a side where the first buffer layer is provided.

7. The radiography apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the second buffer layer is lead (Pb) for backscattered ray absorption.
