Method for manufacturing a transparent binderless storage phosphor screen |
(57) A method has been disclosed for manufacturing a binderless storage phosphor screen
or panel comprising a support and a stimulable phosphor layer with a layer thickness
in the range from 100 µm up to 1000 µm, said phosphor layer having a transparency
of at least 50 % for radiation in the wavelength range from 350 nm up to 750 nm, characterised
in that said transparency has been provided by melting of a powdery phosphor or a
phosphor present in structured form in a structured layer, in order to get a liquid
phosphor layer, followed by solidifying said liquid phosphor layer.
