Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged on an insulating substrate, each of the plurality of pixels comprising: a thin-film transistor having a source electrode and a drain electrode; a conversion element arranged over the thin-film transistor; and an insulating film arranged between the thin-film transistor and the conversion element, wherein the plurality of pixels include a pixel in which, through a contact hole provided in the insulating film, the source electrode or the drain electrode of the thin-film transistor and the conversion element are connected with each other; and a pixel in which the conversion element, the insulating film, and an electroconductive layer electrically connected to the source electrode or the drain electrode of the thin-film transistor are removed together so that an electric connection between the thin-film transistor and the conversion element is discontinued.
