Abstract

An image capture panel includes a plurality 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 substantially 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 substantially uniform pattern of light radiation sufficient to neutralize substantially all residual electrical charges trapped within the image capture panel.
