Patent ID: 8053178

Claim:
A method for patterning objects, the method comprising: providing one of the objects, the object including an overlying layer of photosensitive material; selectively applying light through one or more fiber cores from a plurality of fiber cores, each of the fiber cores having an input end and an output end, each of the input ends being coupled to an optical source, the plurality of fiber cores being numbered from 1 through N, where N is an integer greater than 1, each of the output ends being numbered from 1 through N, which corresponds respectively to each of the plurality of fiber cores numbered from 1 through N, the output ends being terminated in a common plane; and exposing the photosensitive material to light emitted through the common plane; wherein each of the output ends numbered from 1 through N is associated with a separate one of a plurality of pixels numbered respectively from 1 through N.
