More Information
Summary:A hard copy such as a printed wiring board is fabricated by exposing to radiation a liquid crystal cell in which a desired pattern is written and directing the pattern-carrying radiation projected from the cell by transmission or reflection to a substrate which is coated with a material sensitive to the radiation and disposed alignedly at an exposure position by optical registration. The duration of the exposure is controlled for a given light intensity and for the type of the coating material. A pattern may be written in one cell substantially simultaneously as another cell is used for the projection imaging. After a produced pattern is compared with a reference pattern, corrections may be effected through a processor which controls the writing of a pattern in a cell.
