Patent ID: 8853640

Claim:
A radiation detecting element comprising: a sensor section configured from a plurality of hexagonal shaped pixels, each of which includes a semiconductor film that receives irradiated radiation and generates charges, that are arrayed adjacent to each other in a two dimensional pattern; a detecting section, provided for each of the pixels, including a pixel electrode that collects the charges, a storage capacitor that accumulates charges that have been collected by the pixel electrode, and a switching element that reads the charges accumulated in the storage capacitor; a plurality of scan lines that are disposed parallel to each other and that transmit signals for performing switching control of the switching elements; a plurality of data lines that are disposed so as to intersect with the scan lines and so as to bend along a portion of a peripheral edge of the hexagonal shaped pixels, and that transmit electrical signals corresponding to the charges read by the switching elements; and a plurality of common lines that connect together one electrode of the storage capacitors and fix the storage capacitor electrodes at a specific potential, wherein the switching elements are placed within regions surrounded by a line segment that divides the pixels in two in a direction intersecting with the extension direction of the plurality of scan lines and 3 continuous data-line-provided sides out of peripheral edges of the pixels, and are connected to the 3-continuous-side-provided data lines, and the common lines are disposed between the plurality of data lines so as not to intersect with the data lines.
