Abstract

A deposition mask and a display unit and method of manufacturing same are provided. A red continuous organic layer, a green continuous organic layer, and a blue continuous organic layer are provided over two or more lines of a matrix configuration of organic light emitting devices in common. A film thickness distribution in the extensional direction of the red, green and blue continuous organic layer is dissolved, and an aperture ratio can be improved by just that much.

Claims (8)

1. A deposition mask that forms a continuous organic layer common to a plurality of organic light emitting devices of a display unit that has a matrix configuration constructed by a plurality of lines and columns associated with the organic light emitting devices on a substrate by deposition, comprising:

a body part having one or more stripe-shaped openings to form a continuous organic layer common to at least two lines of the matrix configuration; and

one or more protrusions that are provided on the body part wherein the protrusions partly protrude inside the one or more stripe-shaped openings and wherein the protrusions are in a shape selected from the group consisting of a semicircle, a semiellipse, and a polygon.

2. The deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are provided corresponding to an area between the lines of the organic light emitting devices.

3. The deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are provided as a pair at relative positions on both sides in a width direction of the one or more stripe-shaped openings.

4. The deposition mask according to claim 3 , wherein a plurality of pairs of the protrusions are provided corresponding to respective positions between the lines of the organic light emitting devices.

5. The deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more stripe-shaped openings are formed by any one of etching and electroforming.

6. The deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the body part includes a material having magnetic characteristics.
