Mask
A mask includes a plate-shaped body including openings, and a modified portion including at least one first curved portion protruding from the plate-shaped body in a first direction and longitudinally extending in a second direction.
1. A mask, comprising:
a plate-shaped body comprising openings; and
a modified portion comprising:
at least one first curved portion protruding from the plate-shaped body in a first direction and longitudinally extending in a second direction;
at least one second curved portion protruding from the plate-shaped body in the first direction and longitudinally extending in a third direction,
wherein the second direction and the third direction are substantially perpendicular to one another.
2. The mask of claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one first curved portion is one of a plurality of first curved portions;
the plurality of first curved portions are spaced apart from one another; and
the openings are positioned between respective pairs of the plurality of first curved portions.
3. The mask of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first curved portion is disposed in one or more limited areas of the plate-shaped body.
4. The mask of claim 3 , wherein the one or more limited areas correspond to a central area of the plate-shaped body.
5. The mask of claim 3 , wherein the one or more limited areas are disposed adjacent to one or more edges of the plate-shaped body.
6. The mask of claim 1 , wherein the shape of an axial cross-section of the first curved portion is a semicircle, a semioval, or a polygon.
7. The mask of claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one second curved portion is one of a plurality of second curved portions;
the plurality of second curved portions are spaced apart from one another; and
the openings are disposed between respective pairs of the plurality of second curved portions.
8. The mask of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second curved portions are disposed in one or more limited areas of the plate-shaped body.
9. The mask of claim 8 , wherein the one or more limited areas correspond to a central area of the plate-shaped body.
10. The mask of claim 8 , wherein the one or more limited areas are disposed adjacent to one or more edges of the plate-shaped body.
11. The mask of claim 1 , wherein the shape of an axial cross-section of at least some of the plurality of second curved portions is a semicircle, a semioval, or a polygon.
12. The mask of any one of claims 1 , wherein the first direction extends upward or downward from the plate-shaped body.
13. The mask of claim 1 , wherein the modified portion comprises at least one of chromium, copper, nickel, magnesium, iron, tin, titanium, aluminum, and stainless steel.
14. The mask of claim 1 , wherein the modified portion is formed from a polymer.
15. The mask of claim 1 , wherein the modified portion is formed from the same material as or a different material from the plate-shaped body.
16. The mask of any one of claims 1 , wherein the modified portion is configured to stretch under tension of the plate-shaped body to:
enable a thickness of the plate-shaped body to be substantially maintained; and
enable at least one other dimension of the plate-shaped body to increase.
17. A mask, comprising:
a plate-shaped body comprising openings; and
a modified portion comprising:
protrusions protruding from a first surface of the plate-shaped body; and
depressions in a second surface of the plate-shaped body, the protrusions overlapping the depressions,
wherein the protrusions are disposed in a pattern, the pattern comprising at least one row and at least one column of alternating protrusions and openings.
18. The mask of claim 17 , wherein the protrusions are disposed in one or more limited areas of the plate-shaped body.
19. The mask of claim 18 , wherein the one or more limited areas correspond to a central area of the plate-shaped body.
20. The mask of claim 18 , wherein the one or more limited areas are disposed adjacent to one or more edges of the plate-shaped body.
21. The mask of claim 17 , wherein the shape of an axial cross-section of at least some of the protrusions is a hemisphere, a cone, a polygonal prism, or a polygonal pyramid.
22. The mask of claim 17 , wherein the at least one row and the at least one column are formed diagonally across the plate-shaped body.
23. A mask, comprising:
a plate-shaped body comprising openings; and
a modified portion comprising at least two curved portions protruding from the plate-shaped body, the at least two curved portions comprising:
at least one curved portion protruding in a first direction; and
at least one curved portion protruding in a second direction opposite the first direction,
wherein the at least two curved portions longitudinally extend in a third direction.
