Abstract
Methods and devices for creating an electrostatic force. An electrostatic platen device includes a continuous conductive layer; a first dielectric layer provided on a first surface of the continuous conductive layer; and a second dielectric layer provided on a second surface of the continuous conductive layer opposite to the first surface of the conductive layer. A power source is electrically coupled to the continuous conductive layer to generate an electric tacking field.
