Abstract
A patterning device holding apparatus includes a support platform unit with a plurality of first positioning projections and a gripper unit. The gripper unit includes a head portion and a plurality of second positioning projections disposed on the head portion, and a rolling member set at a base portion. The grapping and releasing of the patterning device is achieved by the rotation of the gripper unit about a pivot substantially parallel with the center axis of the rolling member. The first and second positioning projections corporately abut against the edges of a patterning device to fix the patterning device in place.
