Abstract
There are provided a radiation image pickup apparatus that may suppress deterioration of the transistor characteristic in the circuit in the periphery of the pixel section, and a radiation image pickup/display system including the apparatus. The radiation image pickup apparatus includes a pixel section provided on a substrate and having photoelectric conversion elements, a circuit section provided in the periphery of the pixel section on the substrate to drive the pixel section, and a wavelength conversion layer provided on the pixel section to convert a wavelength of radiation into a predetermined wavelength within a sensitivity range of the photoelectric conversion elements. The circuit section is provided in a region not facing an end of the wavelength conversion layer.
