A two-dimensional scintillation neutron detector with a submillimeter spatial resolution was developed for pulsed neutron diffraction imaging at the J-PARC MLF. The detector comprised the thin, single ZnS/$$^{6}$$LiF scintillator screen coupled with the crossed wavelength-shifting fiber array for light collection. For a high spatial resolution, the wavelength shifting fibers with diameter of 0.1 mm were used them for assembling the detector. The prototype detector that has a neutron-sensitive area of 24 $$times$$ 24 mm$$^{2}$$ exhibited a spatial resolution of 0.20$$pm$$0.06 mm and 0.16$$pm$$0.06 mm for x and y directions, respectively. The detector had a detection efficiency of 7$$%$$ for thermal neutrons with a $$^{60}$$Co $$gamma$$-ray sensitivity in the order of 10$$^{-6}$$. In this paper detailed detector design is presented together with experimental results using the pulsed neutron beam.
