Abstract

A planar X-ray detector has an X-ray charge conversion film converting an incident X-ray into electric charges, pixel electrodes provided on the X-ray charge conversion film corresponding to respective pixels arranged in an array, switching elements connected to the respective pixel electrodes, signal lines, each of which is connected to a column of switching elements, scanning lines, each of which transmits driving signals to a row of switching elements, and a common electrode provided on the surface of the X-ray charge conversion film opposite to the surface on which the pixel electrodes are provided. The X-ray charge conversion film contains an X-ray sensitive material made of inorganic-semiconductor particles, and a carrier transport material made of an organic semiconductor.
