  • Patent number: 12667917
    Abstract: A method of producing a microstructured component includes a multiplicity of micro-functional elements on a substrate that carries an array of pixel-forming micro-light-emitting diodes on an electrical supply structure, including laser processing in at least one method stage in a laser processing station under control of a control unit, the method stage including positioning a workpiece to be processed in a processing position of the laser processing station by a workpiece movement system in reaction to movement signals of the control unit, the method including: observing the workpiece in a camera-based manner by a camera system, the observing including capturing at least one portion of the workpiece lying in the object field of a camera and also generating an image representing the portion; evaluating the image by image processing to ascertain position data representing an actual position of at least one structural element of the workpiece in the object field.

  • Patent number: 11878368
    Abstract: A laser processing system includes a laser beam source that produces a raw laser beam; a beam expansion system that receives the raw laser beam and produces an expanded laser beam; a homogenization system that receives the expanded laser beam and produces a laser beam that is homogenized and has a line-shaped beam cross section in the processing plane, wherein the homogenization system includes a first homogenization arrangement that homogenizes along the short axis and a second homogenization arrangement for homogenization along the long axis, each of the homogenization arrangements includes optical elements that split the laser beam into a multiplicity of partial beams and a condenser system that superposes the partial beams in a superposition plane, and the first homogenization arrangement includes a first condenser system with at least one first mirror and the second homogenization arrangement includes a second condenser system with at least one second mirror.
