The present invention relates to a scintillator panel and a radiation detector.
Patent Literature 1 to Patent Literature 3 are known as technologies in this field.
Patent Literature 1 discloses a scintillator panel. The scintillator panel has a metal film provided between a resin substrate and a fluorescent body layer.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a scintillator panel according to a first embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a radiation detector according to a second embodiment.
FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view illustrating a scintillator panel according to Modification Example 1, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view illustrating a scintillator panel according to Modification Example 2.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In description of the drawings, the same reference signs will be applied to the same elements, and duplicate description will be omitted.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, a scintillator panel 1 according to a first embodiment has a substrate 2, a barrier layer 3, a scintillator layer 4, and a protective film 6. The scintillator panel 1 is combined with a photoelectric conversion element (not illustrated) and is used as a radiation image sensor.
The substrate 2, the barrier layer 3, and the scintillator layer 4 are laminated in this order in a thickness direction thereof and constitute a laminated body 7. Specifically, the barrier layer 3 is formed on the substrate 2. The scintillator layer 4 is formed on the barrier layer 3. The substrate 2 and the scintillator layer 4 do not directly come into contact with each other. The laminated body 7 has a laminated body front surface 7a, a laminated body rear surface 7b, and a laminated body side surface 7c. The laminated body 7 is covered with the protective film 6. Specifically, each of the laminated body front surface 7a, the laminated body rear surface 7b, and the laminated body side surface 7c is covered with the protective film 6. That is, each of the laminated body front surface 7a, the laminated body rear surface 7b, and the laminated body side surface 7c is not directly exposed to the atmosphere.
