Abstract
L'invention concerne un substrat isolant flexible (1) doté de pixels (20) en matrice, le substrat isolant contenant une pluralité de lignes de câblage de balayage (101) qui transmettent des signaux de commande actionnant les commutateurs à TFT (4) des pixels respectifs (20) et une pluralité de lignes de câblage de signal (3) qui transmettent des signaux électriques correspondant aux charges accumulées dans les pixels correspondant à l'état de commutation des commutateurs à TFT (4) respectifs, un film isolant se trouvant entre les lignes de câblage de balayage et les lignes de câblage de signal. La surface du substrat isolant est pourvue d'une porte IC (104) qui sort des signaux de commande et d'un amplificateur IC (105) qui détecte les signaux électriques transmis dans les lignes de câblage de signal. Un circuit de commande (120) qui commande le fonctionnement de la porte IC (104) et de l'amplificateur IC (105) se trouve sur un côté ou en face des deux côtés du substrat isolant (1). Une telle configuration permet d'obtenir un dispositif analyseur de radiographie pouvant être courbé et capable de recevoir de manière stable une radiographie.
