Flow control of photo-polymerizable resin
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling the flow of resin, the method comprising:
- illuminating one or more resin exclusion regions on a substrate;
applying a photo-polymerizable resin to one or more dark regions of the substrate, whereon the resin flows; and
,polymerizing the resin at one or more illumination interface between the resin exclusion regions and the dark regions, thereby forming one or more barriers;
whereby the resin flows onto one or more dark regions, and is substantially restricted from flowing onto the resin exclusion regions of the substrate.

Abstract
This invention provides methods and systems, e.g., to control the flow of photo-polymerizable resins. In the method, e.g., flow of a photo-polymerizable resin is restricted from illuminated resin exclusion regions on a substrate surface by precisely situated flow barriers. A system to control photo-polymerizable resin flow includes, e.g., a light source, a mask and a substrate.
