Title:
IMAGING DEVICE, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND IMAGING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/097546
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An imaging device (100) and an imaging method are described herein. By way of example, the imaging devices (100) includes a scintillator plate (200) configured to convert incident radiation into scintillation light and an imaging element (110) configured to convert the scintillation light to an electric signal. The scintillator plate (100) includes a first scintillator partitioned from a second scintillator by a divider in a direction perpendicular to a propagation direction of the incident radiation. The divider prevents first scintillation light generated in the first scintillator from diffusing into the second scintillator and second scintillation light generated in the first scintillator from diffusing into the first scintillator.
