Iphone 5 as UV Mask for PCB

thingiverse

This a uv pcb mask made from an old iphone 5, stop wasting time printing your masks. You need to disassembly the iPhone and remove the backlight panel (Do not unsolder, you can glue it a string and let it rest on the hook) and you can use your phone normally, but i can let the light pass through.Remember to make all your configurations and install your apps if you want to control the iPhone remotely before disassemble it.You can fix the phone with a screw on the side circular hole, and you can fix a pcb on the screen with some rubbers through the rectangular holes on each side. Do not use the touch side of the screen to put the pcb because the touch panel will alter the distance between the pcb and the screen and that will blur the uv ligth, put your pcb as the image.the pcb result on the photo is just for testing, don't worry about missing tracks, i remove it intentionally.Lastly remember that the iphone 5 screen is 89mm by 5mm, so you can design a pcb mask that fit this, at least one side, to fit it perfecly.
