Mask frame assembly, method of manufacturing the same, and method of manufacturing organic light-emitting display device using the mask frame assembly
View Patent ↗A mask frame includes a frame and a mask installed on the frame while being stretched in a first direction. The mask includes a deposition area including a plurality of deposition pattern portions, an edge unit formed to have a thickness greater than a thickness of the deposition area and including a first edge and a second edge that extend in the first direction on two sides of the deposition area, and two or more ribs formed to have a thickness greater than the thickness of the deposition area between deposition pattern portions adjacent to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
1. A mask frame assembly comprising:
a frame; and
a mask installed on the frame while being stretched in a first direction, wherein the mask comprises:
a deposition area comprising a plurality of deposition pattern portions;
an edge unit formed to have a thickness greater than a thickness of the deposition area, and comprising a first edge and a second edge that extend in the first direction on two sides of the deposition area; and
two or more ribs formed between adjacent deposition pattern portions in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the two or more ribs are configured to have a thickness greater than the thickness of the deposition area, wherein a dummy deposition pattern portions is disposed between the two or more ribs.
2. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein a pattern of the dummy deposition pattern portion is the same as a pattern of each of the deposition pattern portions.
3. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a cover mask for covering an area corresponding to the dummy deposition pattern portion.
4. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein a width of the dummy deposition pattern portion is less than a width of each of the deposition pattern portions.
5. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the edge unit is the same as a thickness of each of the ribs.
6. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the edge unit and the ribs are connected to each other.
7. The mask frame assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mask comprises a plurality of divided masks installed on the frame, wherein the first direction is a longitudinal direction of each of the plurality of divided masks and the second direction is a width direction of each of the plurality of divided masks.
8. A method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting display device comprising a substrate, a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on the substrate to face each other, and an organic film disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode,
wherein the organic film or the second electrode is deposited by using a mask frame assembly comprising a frame and a mask installed on the frame while being stretched in a first direction,
wherein the mask comprises:
a deposition area comprising a plurality of deposition pattern portions;
an edge unit formed to have a thickness greater than a thickness of the deposition area and comprising a first edge and a second edge that extend in the first direction on two sides of the deposition area; and
two or more ribs formed between adjacent deposition pattern portions in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the two or more ribs are configured to have a thickness greater than the thickness of the deposition area, wherein a dummy deposition pattern portions is disposed between the two or more ribs.
