layer 66 is not needed storage phosphor screen 10 can include an optional anti reflection layer 72 or anti curl layer as well as one or more protective layers 70 for protection of the phosphor material red absorber layer 68 is optional and its function can alternately be performed by dispersed colorant particles within phosphor layer 62 referring to fig4 there is shown a cross section view of an image storage phosphor screen 10 according to another embodiment wherein the storage phosphor screen 10 has first and second phosphor layers 62 a 62 b in the screen shown in fig4 red absorber layer 68 is disposed between two phosphor layers 62 a and 62 b absorbing at least some portion of the stimulating radiation reflection layer 66 is provided between the phosphor material and substrate base 64 as with the arrangement shown in fig3 material for reflection or scattering can be provided as part of base 64 an optional subbing layer 74 can be provided between phosphor layer 62 b and reflection layer 66 it can be appreciated that the dual layer arrangement shown in fig4 can provide some advantages as compared to the single layer arrangement of fig3 for example the arrangement of fig4 allows for different phosphor material formulations on each phosphor layer 62 a.
