One side of the first light entering region and one side of the second light entering region are in contact with each other. The first light exiting region is positioned on a first light receiving region. The second light exiting region is positioned on a second light receiving region. One side surface of a first side surface and one side surface of a second side surface exhibit shapes along each other and in contact with each other.

A method of manufacturing a radiation detector includes: forming a substrate in which a flexible base material is provided via a peeling layer on a support body and plural pixels that accumulate electric charges generated in response to light converted from radiation are provided in a pixel region of the base material; forming a conversion layer for converting the radiation into light on a surface of the base material; providing a first reinforcing substrate on a surface of the conversion layer opposite to a surface on the substrate side; peeling the substrate provided with the conversion layer and the first reinforcing substrate from the support body; providing a second reinforcing substrate on a surface of the substrate peeled from the support body; and peeling the first reinforcing substrate from the substrate provided with the conversion layer after providing the second reinforcing substrate.

A DR detector is formed from a housing with a cover attached to the housing. Shaped gaps formed in the housing and/or cover include a bonding agent or adhesive therein to fix the cover to the housing. Other attachment means such as screws or pins may be used instead of, or in combination with, the bonding agent.

A radiation detector including: a substrate formed with plural pixels that accumulate electrical charges generated in response to light converted from radiation in a pixel region at an opposite-side surface of a base member to a surface including a fine particle layer; the base member being flexible and is made of resin and that includes a fine particle layer containing inorganic fine particles having a mean particle size of from 0.05 μm to 2.5 μm, a conversion layer provided at the surface of the base member provided with the pixel region and configured to convert the radiation into light; and a reinforcement substrate provided to at least one out of a surface on the substrate side of a stacked body configured by stacking the substrate and the conversion layer, or a surface on the conversion layer side of the stacked body.

A radiation detection apparatus includes a flexible substrate, a radiation detector located on the flexible substrate, a drive located on a side portion of the flexible substrate and adjacent to the radiation detector to drive the radiation detector, and a relay including a plurality of wiring layers connected to the drive. The relay is for external connection and located on an extension of the flexible substrate. The extension extends outward from the side portion. The relay may include a basal portion adjacent to the side portion. The basal portion may have a width less than a width of the side portion.

According to one embodiment, the radiation detection panel includes a photo-electric conversion substrate including a plurality of photo-electric conversion sections, a scintillator layer provided on the photo-electric conversion substrate, and a moisture-proof cover. The moisture-proof cover sandwiches the scintillator layer together with the photo-electric conversion substrate and covers the scintillator layer. The moisture-proof cover is formed of glass.

A radiation imaging panel comprising a substrate in which a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element are arranged, a scintillator containing a plurality of columnar crystals arranged on the substrate, and a protective layer is provided. The protective layer includes a first resin layer arranged so as to cover the scintillator and a second resin layer arranged on the first resin layer, and the first resin layer contains a resin to which particles of a metal compound is added. A light reflectance r1 [%] of the first resin layer satisfies 47%<r1<75%, and a light reflectance r2 [%] of the second resin layer and a light absorptance a2 [%] of the second resin layer satisfy r2<a2.

According to one embodiment, a radiation detector includes a photoelectric conversion substrate having a detection area and a non-detection area, a scintillator layer, a frame-shaped sealant, a cover, and a moisture absorbing layer. A light transmittance of the moisture absorbing layer is changed by changing an amount of moisture in the moisture absorbing layer. The moisture absorbing layer covers the entire scintillator layer in planar view.
