ABSTRACT:
An overhead projector has a stage on which original material is placed. The stage has a Fresnel mirror. An electrostatic attracting structure is integral with the Fresnel mirror. The attracting structure includes a conductive membrane of ceramic and a resinous dielectric/protective layer. The conductive membrane consists of a pair of comb-shaped electrodes, which interfinger in coplanar fashion, and are covered by the dielectric/protective layer for insulation and protection. A power supply device applies a high voltage of direct current to the electrodes. The original material is attracted electrostatically by the electrodes, and can be kept flat on the stage. In a preferred embodiment, the power supply device incorporates a self-starting blocking oscillator, which is adapted to boost the voltage sufficiently for electrostatic attraction.
