Patent ID: 7709804

Claim:
A radiation detector comprising: a substrate; a lower electrode disposed on the substrate; a radiation detecting layer formed on the upper surface of the lower electrode; an upper electrode formed on the upper surface of the radiation detecting layer; a protection member which is formed on the upper electrode, and which extends along an edge of the radiation detector to a lower edge of the substrate and which covers both the surface and edge portions of the upper electrode; and a flexible and deformable reinforcement member that extends along at least a portion of the lower surface of the substrate and further extends along at least a portion of an edge of the radiation detector, the flexible and deformable reinforcement member being adhered to the lower surface of the substrate and adhered to the outer surface of the protection member along said portion of the edge of the radiation detector such that the flexible and deformable reinforcement member is coextensive with the protection member along said portion of the edge of the radiation detector.
