Abstract

A system, methods, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for digital lithography to reduce mura in substrate sections. The boundary lines of the digital lithography need to be invisible. In one example, a system includes a processing unit configured to print a virtual mask file provided by a controller. The controller is configured to receive data and convert the data into a virtual mask file having an exposure pattern for a lithographic process. The exposure pattern includes a plurality of first sections, and second sections. Each first section forms a boundary with each second section along a first column of image projection systems of the processing unit. The controller patterns the substrate. The exposure pattern includes a first section pattern of each first section that crosses the eye to eye boundary with the second section making the boundary invisible.
