Abstract
An energy ray sensitive regionis divided in its horizontal direction into m columns with the vertical direction as the longitudinal direction, divided in its vertical direction into n rows with the horizontal direction as the longitudinal direction, and is thereby provided with m×n photoelectric conversion portionsthat are arrayed two-dimensionally. Each of these photoelectric conversion portionsgenerates charges in response to the incidence of energy rays. On the front surface side of energy ray sensitive region, a plurality of transfer electrodesare disposed so as to cover energy ray sensitive region. The plurality of transfer electrodesare respectively disposed with the horizontal direction as the longitudinal direction and are aligned in the vertical direction. The respective transfer electrodesare electrically connected by voltage dividing resistors. Each voltage dividing resistoris disposed in correspondence to each transfer electrode, divides a DC output voltage from a DC power supplyto generate a DC output potential, and applies this DC output potential to the corresponding transfer electrode
