Abstract

A cleaning device includes a cleaning solution tank filled to a predetermined height with an electrolyte solution, a negative electrode provided inside the cleaning solution tank, a metal jig mounted with a metal mask used to manufacture an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display to one side for guiding the metal mask to be connected to the negative electrode, positive electrodes installed at predetermined intervals inside the cleaning solution tank with along with a metal mask, and a rectifying device electrically connected to the negative electrode and the positive electrodes.

Claims (23)

1. A cleaning device, comprising:

a cleaning solution tank filled with an electrolyte solution to a predetermined height;

a negative electrode provided inside the cleaning solution tank;

a metal jig mounted with a metal mask used to manufacture an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display to one side, and guiding the metal mask to be connected to the negative electrode;

positive electrodes installed at predetermined intervals inside the cleaning solution tank along with the metal mask;

a rectifying device electrically connected to the negative electrode and the positive electrodes;

a negative bus bar installed at a lower portion of the cleaning solution tank for transmitting a negative voltage supplied by the rectifying device to the negative electrode; and

an elastic member installed at the negative bus bar for contacting the negative electrode.

2. The cleaning device of claim 1 , wherein the upper portion of the metal jig is connected to a catching bar which is slung over one side of the cleaning solution tank.

3. The cleaning device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a robot for horizontally and vertically moving the metal jig into a predetermined position so as to load and unload the metal jig inside the cleaning solution tank through an inlet formed in an upper portion of the cleaning solution tank;

a remote control device for remotely controlling the rectifying device and the robot in accordance with a predetermined program; and

a display device for displaying a state of the rectifying device and the remote control device.

4. The cleaning device of claim 1 , wherein the positive electrodes are installed at an inner surface of the cleaning solution tank at an interval with respect to the metal jig, and the positive electrodes are disposed in correspondence to the metal mask.

5. The cleaning device of claim 1 , further comprising a cover covering an upper inlet of the cleaning solution tank, wherein the cover is connected to an exhaust line for exhausting a gas generated in the cleaning solution tank, and the exhaust line is installed with a gas densitometer for detecting the concentration of gas passing through the exhaust line.

6. The cleaning device of claim 5 , wherein the gas densitometer is a hydrogen densitometer for detecting the concentration of hydrogen.

7. A cleaning device, comprising:

a cleaning solution tank filled with an electrolyte solution to a predetermined height;

a negative electrode provided inside the cleaning solution tank;

a metal jig mounted with a metal mask used to manufacture an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display to one side, and guiding the metal mask to be connected to the negative electrode;

positive electrodes installed at predetermined intervals inside the cleaning solution tank along with the metal mask;

a rectifying device electrically connected to the negative electrode and the positive electrodes; and

an insulating member interposed between the metal mask and the metal jig.
