Abstract
The present invention provides a radiation detection element that may suppress variation in wiring load, and that may increase the arrangement pitch of connecting portions connected to external circuits. Namely, plural pixels are disposed in an inclined matrix within a detection region, and a signal line is disposed for every two pixel lines in a vertical direction.
Claims7
A radiation detection element comprising:
- a plurality of pixels disposed in a matrix inclined in a first direction and a second direction intersecting with first direction, and disposed within a rectangular detection region where sides of the region extend in the first direction and the second direction, that accumulate charges generated by irradiation of radiation, and that include switching elements to read out the accumulated charges;
- a plurality of first lines, disposed one by one for each line of a plurality of pixels in the first direction, that are connected to the switching elements, and are supplied with one of a control signal to switch the switching elements or an electric signal according to the accumulated charges;
- and
- a plurality of second lines, disposed one by one for each pixel line in the second direction, that are connected to the switching elements, and are supplied with the other one of the control signal or the electric signal, and
- wherein each second line is connected to one of a plurality of external circuits, the plurality of external circuits provided at both sides of the detection region in the second direction, at one side or the other side in the second direction.
