Abstract:
1. An imaging device, comprising: (a) a plurality of first electrode strips in parallel to each other along a first direction, wherein each first electrode strip has an elongated body with a first surface and an opposite, second surface and a thickness n (b) a plurality of second electrode strips in parallel to each other along a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, wherein each second electrode strip has an elongated body with a first surface and an opposite, second surface and a thickness n (c) at each crossing point, a semiconductor component is filled between the second surface of a corresponding first electrode strip and the first surface of a corresponding second electrode strip to form an addressable pixel, wherein the semiconductor component has a thickness n s that satisfies the following relationship: n s ≧n 1 , n 2 , and wherein, in operation, when an illuminating light containing information of an object is incident onto the first surface of a first electrode strip of an addressable pixel, a corresponding imaging signal is generated at the second surface of the corresponding second electrode strip.
