Abstract
A device (40) for patterning an imaging member (46) is provided. The device (40) comprises a light source (42) which emits light rays (44). Light rays (44) pass through a collimator (45) to collimate the light rays (48). The light then strikes a spatial light modulator (50) which is controlled by a computer (52) to reflect the light (54). The light passes through an imaging member (56) to demagnify the pattern for striking imaging member (46). Imaging member (46) is thus patterned by changing modulator (50) by computer (52).
