Abstract
The invention provides a direct conversion flat panel X-ray detector with automatic cancellation of ghost images due to charge trapping. The detector includes a direct X-ray to charge converter, a readout thin film transistor array supported by a glass substrate and on the rear side of the glass substrate, a layer of luminophor which automatically and instantly suppresses the ghosting effect.
