Thanks for the Link!
As I understood, APLD versions are based on different techniques.
ALPD 3.0 has red and blue laser APLD 4.0 has blue laser plus phosphor
Former versions are with the typical colour wheel which we do not need.
We just need the laser source, and if this is blue, we have shorter wave length which is fine. Photoresists are sensitive to short wave length light, hence the yellow light inside clean rooms. If there is red light (close to the insensitive yellow spectrum) also we could use this for the mask position marker.
Sounds nice! So have a deeper look at that!

DLP/DMD is promising. I'd also say check out the short throw laser projectors - in particular the new Xiaomi 4k model has native 0.5um pitch, 5000 lumens and only costs ¥10999rmb/€1433 for CNY specials - it uses ALPD 3.0 though as I understand it Appotronics came out with an even newer 4.0 spec in 2018: http://www.appotronicsusa.com/alpd_technology.html -pmg

Between all the small mirrors are always even smaller gaps. If we like to draw a bar, eg. poly or whatever (ASCII-Art) ------------------------- ----- ^ | v ------------------------- ----- the mirrors are with a gap instead +-------+ +-------+ ----- | mirror| |mirror | ^ | | gap | | | | | | | v +-------+ +-------+ ----- |<----->| ??? This means that it becomes difficult to "stitch" two mirrors gap-less. For human eyes it does not matter, the eyes does not see the pixel / pattern structure. But I guess, the photo resist will see 'em - so we have to tricked them out somehow. Can we use here diffraction? Or we already need double-pattering here?
