Abstract
An image forming apparatus is provided, which enables various kinds of drive in accordance with purposes. The image forming apparatus includes photoelectric conversion elements and TFT units which are arranged in a matrix shape, a signal processing circuit unit (for processing a signal from each photoelectric conversion element, and a gate driver circuit unit for controlling connections among the photoelectric conversion elements. The gate driver circuit unit is connected to the TFT units through gate lines. The gate lines include one that is connected to the TFT units in each row, and the gate lines include one that is connected to the TFT units in plural rows.
Claims9
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of pixels arranged in row and column directions, each of the pixels having at least two switching elements;
- a signal processing circuit unit for processing a signal from each of the pixels or for sending a signal to each of the pixels;
- and
- a driver circuit for driving the switching elements of each of the pixels, wherein the driver circuit unit is connected to first and second control wirings, and wherein the first control wiring is commonly connected to ones of the two switch elements of the pixels in the same row, and the second control wiring is commonly connected to the others of the two switching elements of the pixels of plural rows.
A radiation detection apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of pixels arranged in row and column directions, each pixel having at least two switching elements and a conversion element for converting radiation into an electric signal;
- a signal processing circuit unit for processing a signal from each of the conversion elements;
