Abstract
A multilayered detector apparatus comprising: PA1 a first conductive layer: PA1 a photoconductive layer having two sides thick enough to obtain a desired level of sensitivity and resolution of the detector apparatus when the detector apparatus is exposed to radiation of known energy, one side of said photoconductive layer being integrally affixed to and in electrical contact with one side of said first conductive layer; PA1 a insulating layer having two sides that is a phosphor that will emit light when irradiated by X-rays, one side of said insulating layer being affixed to the other side of said photoconductive layer; and PA1 transparent conductive layer having two sides, one side of said transparent conductive layer being affixed to the other side of said insulating layer.
