Abstract:
A system for performing digital lithography onto a subject, the system comprising:a pixel panel for generating a first pixel element from a digital image; a point array for focusing the first pixel element onto a first site of the subject for exposure; repositioning means for moving the subject in a first direction relative to the pixel panel so that a second pixel element aligns with the first site; and a digital imaging system for moving the digital image in the pixel panel responsive to the movement of the repositioning means and determining whether the second pixel element should be exposed; whereby the point array exposes the second pixel element onto the first site of the subject if determined by the digital imaging system, and if exposed, whereby the subject exposure from the second pixel element overlaps a portion, but not all, of the subject exposure from the first pixel element to thereby create a line diagonal to the first direction.
