Patent ID: 7087915

Claim:
A device for reproducing a radiation image comprising at least one radiation-absorbing phosphor layer containing a phosphor which absorbs a radiation and subsequently emits a light, a stimulable phosphor layer containing a stimulable phosphor which absorbs the light and stores energy of the light therein which is releasable in the form of light emission by stimulation with electric field, a first electrode layer placed on an upper surface of the stimulable phosphor layer and a second electrode layer placed on a lower surface of the stimulable phosphor layer in which at least one of said first and second electrode layers is a light-transmitting electrode layer, and a light-detecting layer which is arranged on the light-transmitting electrode of the stimulable phosphor layer, wherein the at least one radiation-absorbing phosphor layer is positioned closer to an upper surface of the device than said first electrode layer.
