US Patent 12131922 Micro device mass transfer tool

A micro device transfer tool and methods of operation in which the micro device transfer tool includes an articulating transfer head assembly capable of six degrees of motion. A miniatured camera assembly may be secured near the point of contact for the articulating transfer head assembly to aid in system alignment. In an embodiment, an encoder system is included for alignment of a micro pick up array and target substrate using complementary concentric grating patterns. In an embodiment a miniaturized position sensor design is included for sensing position of various system components during alignment or pick and place processes.
