In this paper we summarise the investigation into a possible design of flat panel geometry for the large pixel detector (LPD) at the X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) at DESY. LPD will be one of the detections systems for applications such as coherent X-ray diffraction imaging, small molecule imaging and pump-probe techniques. A proposed design of the LPD is to incorporate edgeless technology through the use of current terminating ring structures. Additionally dry etching techniques to minimize the edge effects associated with tiled detectors are also examined
