Static electricity eliminating apparatus and static electricity eliminating method

A static electricity eliminating method with a static electricity eliminating apparatus comprising;

• (A) a first electrically conductive piece and a second electrically conductive piece which are disposed so as to face each other through an insulating layer, and
• (B) a discharge means having one end electrically connected to the first electrically conductive piece and other end electrically connected to the second electrically conductive piece,
• said method comprising;
• accumulating a charge, which is electrostatically induced in the first electrically conductive piece and the second electrically conductive piece due to a contact of a static-electricity-charged object with the first electrically conductive piece, between the first electrically conductive piece and the second electrically conductive piece by dielectric polarization, and then,
• discharging the charge with the discharge means in a state where the first electrically conductive piece and the second electrically conductive piece are not grounded.
