Mask frame assembly for depositing thin layer and organic light emitting display device manufactured using the mask frame assembly
View Patent ↗A mask frame assembly for depositing a thin film including at least two unit masks, ends of the unit masks being coupled to a frame having an opening, and each unit mask includes a plurality of deposition openings. A first gap has a width substantially equal to a width of the deposition openings and is located between the unit masks.
1. A mask frame assembly for depositing a thin film, comprising:
at least two unit masks, ends of the unit masks being coupled to a frame having an opening,
wherein each unit mask includes a plurality of deposition openings,
wherein a first gap having a width substantially equal to a width of the deposition openings is located between the unit masks,
wherein portions of the unit masks adjacent to the deposition openings and the first gap have a sloped taper,
wherein cross-sectional structures of the deposition openings and the first gap are the same, and
wherein the first gap is located along the whole length of the unit mask disposed over the opening of the frame.
2. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein a second gap having a width substantially equal to the width of the deposition openings is located between an outermost unit mask of the unit masks and the frame.
3. The mask frame assembly of claim 2 , wherein the deposition openings, the first gap, and the second gap form a masking pattern unit.
4. The mask frame assembly of claim 2 , wherein the second gap extends along a length direction of the unit masks.
5. The mask frame assembly of claim 4 , wherein the second gap has a length that is substantially equal to a length of a portion of a unit mask exposed in the opening of the frame.
6. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the deposition openings and the first gap form a masking pattern unit.
7. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the deposition openings are arranged overlapping with the opening of the frame.
8. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first gap extends along a length direction of the unit masks.
9. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the deposition openings comprise discontinuous dot patterns.
10. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the deposition openings comprise continuous stripe patterns.
