Apparatus and method for eliminating residual charges in an image capture panel

摘要

The image capture panel includes a number of sensors arrayed adjacent to a substrate layer of dielectric material, and a radiation sensitive layer disposed over the sensors. The radiation sensitive layer is exposed to a first uniform pattern of light radiation for partially neutralizing residual electrical charges trapped within the image capture panel. The radiation sensitive layer is then exposed to a second uniform pattern of light radiation sufficient to neutralize all residual electrical charges trapped within the image capture panel. The substrate layer and each sensing element have an optical density that is substantially transparent to light radiation from the panels, thereby allowing light radiation to penetrate through it and reach the bottom surface of the radiation sensitive layer.
