An object of this invention is to implement a radiographic apparatus which
can stably obtain a moving image at a high speed by suppressing a voltage
variation in GND or power supply line and omitting the standby period for
each frame. To achieve this object, during a period after electrical
signals from conversion elements (S1-1 S1-3) in one control
interconnection (G1) are transferred and read for each row by a driving
circuit section (SR1) before electrical signals in the next control
interconnection are transferred and read, the read-accessed conversion
elements are refreshed for each row, thereby eliminating the necessity
for preparing a refresh period in acquiring continuous moving images. In
addition, since the conversion elements are refreshed for each row, the
dark current (transient current) in the refresh mode can be made small as
compared to a case wherein all the conversion elements are refreshed at
once. With this arrangement, the voltage variation in GND or power supply
line is suppressed.
