Abstract
There is a photoelectric converting apparatus in which (N.times.M) photoelectric converting elements arranged in a one-dimensional array form are connected to N voltage applying electrodes and M signal readout electrodes in a matrix form. In this apparatus, the wiring crossing portions of the matrix connection are provided on the side of the voltage applying electrodes, and the insulation of the wiring crossing portion is formed as the laminated structure by a photoconductive layer and a high resistance layer.
Claims4
A photoelectric converting apparatus having an (N.times.M) plurality of photoelectric converting elements arranged in a one-dimensional array form, said elements being connected to N voltage applying electrodes and M signal readout electrodes in a matrix form which includes insulated wiring crossing portions, wherein
- the wiring crossing portions of said matrix connectin are provided on the side of said voltage applying electrodes, and
- the insulation of said wiring crossing portion is formed as a laminated structure by a photoconductive layer and a high resistance layer, both of said layers being formed by a low temperature process.
