A radiography flat panel detector and a method of producing the flat panel detector including, in a scintillating or photoconductive layer, an imaging array, -a substrate, and an X-ray absorbing layer including a chemical compound having a metal element with an atomic number of 20 or more and one or more non-metal elements. The X-ray absorbing layer has a dimensionless absorption exponent of greater than 0.5 for gamma ray emission of Am241 at about 60 keV, wherein;AE(Am241 60 keV)=t*(k1e1+k2e2+k3e3+ . . . );and AE(Am241 60 keV) represents the absorption exponent of the X-ray absorbing layer relative to the about 60 keV gamma ray emission of Am241; t represents the a thickness of the X-ray absorbing layer; e1, e2, e3, . . . represent concentrations of the elements in the X-ray absorbing layer; and k1,k2,k3 . . . represent mass attenuation coefficients of the elements. If the chemical compound is a scintillating phosphor, a layer is present between the X-ray absorbing layer and the substrate and has a transmission for light of 10% or lower at the wavelength of the light emission of the chemical compound. |
