An electrostatic dissipation devicecan comprise an elongated enclosurewith a longitudinal axis. An x-ray sourcecan be oriented to emit x-raysinside of and along the longitudinal axis. A fluid-flow devicecan be oriented to cause fluid to flow across the x-ray sourcethen inside of and along the longitudinal axis, the fluid being ionized by the x-rays, forming ionized fluid, then out of the elongated enclosure through outlet opening(s). The arrangement of the x-ray sourceand the fluid-flow devicecan allow (1) fluid from the fluid-flow deviceto cool the x-ray source, and (2) ion generation along the length of the elongated enclosure

Flowing-fluid X-ray induced ionic electrostatic dissipation

The invention includes a flat-panel-display (FPD) manufacturing machine which utilizes x-rays for electrostatic dissipation of a bottom side of a FPD when lifting the FPD off of a table during manufacture of the FPD. The invention also includes a method of electrostatic dissipation of a bottom side of an FPD.

Flat-panel-display, bottom-side, electrostatic-dissipation

An electrostatic-dissipation device comprising an x-ray tube and an electrically-conductive shell that is electrically coupled to an anode of the x-ray tube can be used for electrostatic dissipation, especially at a bottom side of a flat-panel-display (FPD).
