Patent ID: 8850697

Claim:
A method of automatic or semiautomatic manufacturing a radiation digital imaging panel, said panel comprising radiation imaging tiles, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing radiation imaging tiles with structures thereon designated to serve as alignment marks; b) using a mechanical pick and place device, placing an initial first radiation imaging tile on a mother board, by setting a first direction distance (x 1 ), a second direction distance (y 1 ) and an angle (theta 1 ) of said alignment marks on the radiation imaging tile with respect to corresponding alignment marks on the mother board to respective predetermined values (X 1 , Y 1 and/or Theta 1 ); and c) using the mechanical pick and place device, placing on the panel additional radiation imaging tiles by setting the first and second distances and the angles (x 2 , y 2 , theta 2 ), (x 3 , y 3 , theta 3 ), . . . (xn, yn, theta_n) of said imaging tile alignment marks with respect to corresponding alignment marks on at least one of i) a previous imaging tile, ii) the first or initial imaging tile, and iii) the mother board to further respective predetermined values (X 2 , Y 2 , Theta 2 ), (X 3 , Y 3 , Theta 3 ), . . . (Xn, Yn, Theta_n).
