Abstract
An exemplary embodiment includes a method for controlling dust in an electronic device. The method for controlling dust with respect to a computer system, including generating ions proximate to a first region of an electronic device and receiving the ions proximate to a second region of the electronic device, wherein dust particles are captured in the second region.
Claims20
A system for controlling dust with respect to an electronic device, comprising:
- an ion generator, including:
- a circuit to generate a high voltage direct current (DC) potential;
- an ion emitter coupled to a first polarity of the high voltage DC potential;
- and
- an ion receiver coupled to a second polarity of the high voltage DC potential,
- wherein the ion emitter is disposed proximate to a first region of the electronic device and the ion receiver is disposed proximate to a second region of the electronic device.
A method for controlling dust with respect to a computer system, comprising:
- generating ions proximate to a first region of an electronic device;
- and
- receiving the ions proximate to a second region of the electronic device, wherein dust particles are captured in the second region.
A computing device with an integrated dust control system, comprising:
- a high voltage generator;
- an ion emitter proximate to a first side of a display of the computing device;
- and
- an ion receiver proximate to a second side of the display of the computing device.
