Abstract

A scintillator having a columnar structure adapted to convert incident radiation into visible light is formed on one surface of a substrate made of Al in a scintillator panel. All surfaces of the substrate and scintillator are covered with a first polyparaxylylene film, whereas an SiO2 film is formed on the surface of polyparaxylylene film on the scintillator side. Further, a second polyparaxylylene film is formed on the surface of SiO2 film and the surface of polyparaxylylene film on the substrate side, so that all surfaces are covered with the second polyparaxylylene film.
