Patent ID: 8110069

Claim:
A method for removing a donor element from a substrate, the method comprising: effecting relative movement between a peel roller and the substrate so as to move the peel roller into a vicinity of a first portion of the donor element, the first portion spaced-apart from an edge of the donor element; effecting relative movement between a take-up roller and the substrate so as to move the take-up roller into a vicinity of the edge of the donor element and, when the take-up roller is in the vicinity of the edge, securing a second portion of the donor element including the edge to the take-up roller; and while maintaining the peel roller in the vicinity of the first portion: effecting relative movement between the take-up roller and the substrate so as to move the take-up roller and the second portion of the donor element secured thereto in a direction away from the substrate; and rotating the take-up roller about its axis while effecting relative movement between the substrate and the peel roller in a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate to peel at least a substantial portion of the donor element from the substrate.
