FLE-X | Flexible x-ray detectors for large area imagers: towards consumer electronics

Summary
Techniques for non-destructive and non-invasive inspections are more and more required in our society, in different areas such as medical, industrial and security. X-ray radiation and its detection is the current inspection tool, coupled with electronic systems to gather information. However, while the electronic has gone through an impressive development to respond more and more to the need of a capillary presence in our life, without disturbing perception, the X-ray detection has remained behind. Thus, Users are limited to costly, cumbersome, fragile and extremely heavy detection devices, which do not allow nor extension to large areas neither easy integrability/conformability to a large variety of objects.
FLE-X will develop the prototype of a low cost, flexible direct x-ray detector for imaging applications, which can be customized. It will be suitable for large areas inspections, and bendable around complex objects. It will be easy to handle. This will be achieved by developing printed thin films (
