Shape thin substrates by curing shrinkable materials deposited with localized variations

A method of curing a deformation in an optical device substrate, comprising:

• measuring the optical device substrate for deformation;
• printing a first film on a first area of an optical device of the optical device substrate via inkjet printing, the first film being a material that polymerizes and contracts when cured;
• printing a second film on a second area of the optical device of the optical device substrate via inkjet printing, the second film being a material that polymerizes and contracts when cured;
• and
• curing the first film and the second film to induce a bend in the optical device substrate.

A method of curing a deformation in an optical device substrate, comprising:

• identifying one or more areas on an optical device of the optical device substrate with deformation;
• printing a first film over a first area of the optical device of the optical device substrate via inkjet printing, the first film being a material that polymerizes and contracts when cured;
• printing a second film over a second area of the optical device of the optical device substrate via inkjet printing, the second film being a material that polymerizes and contracts when cured;
• printing a third film over a third area of the optical device of the optical device substrate via inkjet printing, the third film being a material that polymerizes and contracts when cured;
• printing a fourth film over a fourth area of the optical device of the optical device substrate via inkjet printing, the fourth film being a material that polymerizes and contracts when cured;
• and
• curing of the first film, the second film, the third film, and the fourth film to induce a bend in the optical device substrate.
