    Abstract: Disclosed herein are maskless imaging tools and display systems that include piezoelectrically actuated mirrors and methods of forming such devices. The maskless imaging tool may include a light source. Additionally, the tool may include one or more piezoelectrically actuated mirrors for receiving light from the light source. The piezoelectrically actuated mirrors are actuatable about one or more axes to reflect the light from the light source to a workpiece positioned to receive light from the piezoelectrically actuated mirror. Disclosed herein is a maskless imaging tool that is a laser direct imaging lithography (LDIL) tool. The maskless imaging tool may also be a via-drill tool. Disclosed herein is also a piezoelectrically actuated mirror used in a projection system. For example, the projection system may be integrated into a pair of glasses.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an optical routing device that includes an organic substrate. According to an embodiment, an array of cavities are formed into the organic substrate and an array of piezoelectrically actuated mirrors may be anchored to the organic substrate with each piezoelectrically actuated mirror extending over a cavity. In order to properly rout incoming optical signals, the optical routing device may also include a routing die mounted on the organic substrate. The routing die may be electrically coupled to each of the piezoelectrically actuated mirrors and is able to generated a voltage across the first and second electrodes of each piezoelectrically actuated mirror. Additionally, a photodetector may be electrically coupled to the routing die. According to an embodiment, an array of fiber optic cables may be optically coupled with one of the piezoelectrically actuated mirrors and optically coupled with the photodetector.
