Abstract: The embodiments described herein generally relate to active alignment of a fine metal mask. The fine metal mask is connected with a frame through a plurality of microactuators. The microactuators can act on the fine metal mask to stretch the mask, reposition the mask or both. In this way, the position and size of the fine metal mask can be maintained in relation to the substrate.
