Abstract

Amorphous selenium based flat panel detectors convert incident x-ray to electric signal directly. Flat panel detectors gain more interest real time medical x-ray imaging. TFT array and electric readout circuits are used in this paper offered by LG.Philips.LCD. Detector is based on a $1536{\times}1280$ array of a-Si TFT pixels. X-ray conversion layer(a-Se) is deposited upper TFT array with a $400{\mu}m$ by thermal deposition technology. Thickness uniformity of this layer is made of thickness control system technology$({\leq}5%)$. Each $139{\mu}m{\times}139{\mu}m$ pixel is made of thin film transistor technology, a storage capacitor and collecting electrode having geometrical fill factor of 86%. This system show dynamic performance. Imaging performance is suited for digital radiography imaging substitute by conventional radiography film system.
