Figure 1.

Schematic drawing of a baseline architecture indirect detection pixel design incorporating a discrete photodiode structure in each pixel. The drawing corresponds to a cross-sectional view, parallel to the direction of the gate address lines, through a part of a pixel containing both the addressing TFT and the photodiode. The locations of the TFT and photodiode are indicated by superimposed ellipses. The direction of the data and photodiode bias lines is orthogonal to the plane of the drawing. Note that the drawing depicts an entire pixel (delimited by a pair of vertical dashed lines and a horizontal, double-headed arrow) as well as portions of adjoining pixels. Finally, note that the drawing is not to scale and that, in particular, the vertical dimensions are significantly exaggerated for reasons of clarity of presentation.
