Abstract

The present application relates to a support strip and a mask plate. The support strip includes a main body, an irregular portion, and a clamped portion. The main body has two sides in a first direction and two ends in a second direction. The irregular portion is disposed on the side of the main body. The clamped portion is disposed on the end of the main body. A first central axis of the main body, a second central axis of the clamped portion, and a first main centroid axis of a support portion all extend along the second direction. The second central axis is located on a side of the first central axis adjacent to the first main centroid axis. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and are parallel to a plane in which a top surface of the main body is located.

wherein the support region has a first main centroid axis extending along the second direction;

wherein the second central axis of the clamped portion is located on a side of the first central axis of the main body adjacent to the first main centroid axis of the support region; and

wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and are parallel to a plane in which a top surface of the main body is located;

wherein the clamped portion comprises:

a first clamped portion disposed at one end of the main body; and

a second clamped portion disposed at the other end of the main body;

wherein sizes of the first clamped portion and the second clamped portion in the first direction are each smaller than a size of the main body in the first direction;

wherein the two sides of the main body are a first side and a second side opposite to each other in the first direction;

wherein each of the first clamped portion and the second clamped portion has a third side and a fourth side opposite to each other in the first direction;

wherein the third sides and the first side are located on a same side of the main body; and

wherein the fourth sides and the second side are located on another same side of the main body;

wherein a distance between the third sides and the first side in the first direction is L1;

wherein a distance between the fourth sides and the second side in the first direction is L2; and

L1<L2 or L1>L2.

2. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the irregular portion comprises:

at least one protrusion protruding from the main body in the first direction; and/or

at least one recess hollowed from the main body in the first direction.

3. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the irregular portion comprises a plurality of protrusions protruding from the main body in the first direction and located on a same side of the main body.

4. The support strip according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of protrusions on the same side of the main body are arranged at intervals in the second direction.

5. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the irregular portion comprises:

a plurality of protrusions protruding from the main body in the first direction;

a part of the plurality of protrusions protrude from one side of the main body; and

the rest of the plurality of protrusions protrude from the other side of the main body.

6. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the irregular portion comprises a plurality of recesses hollowed from the main body and located on a same side of the main body.

7. The support strip according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of recesses on the same side of the main body are arranged at intervals in the second direction.

8. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the irregular portion comprises:

a plurality of recesses hollowed from the main body; and

a part of the plurality of recesses are hollowed from one side of the main body;

wherein the rest of the plurality of protrusions are hollowed from the other side of the main body.

9. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the irregular portion comprises:

a plurality of protrusions protruding from the main body in the first direction; and

a plurality of recesses hollowed from the main body;

wherein the plurality of protrusions are located on one side of the main body;

wherein the plurality of recesses are located on the other side of the main body; and

wherein the second central axis is located on a side of the first main centroid axis away from the protrusions.

10. The support strip according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are arranged at intervals in the second direction and the plurality of recesses are arranged at intervals in the second direction.

11. The support strip according to claim 1 ,

wherein the main body has a third central axis extending in the first direction; and

wherein the first clamped portion and the second clamped portion are symmetrically arranged with respect to the third central axis.

12. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the size of the first clamped portion in the first direction is equal to the size of the second clamped portion in the first direction.

13. The support strip according to claim 1 ,

wherein a size of the first clamped portion or the second clamped portion in the first direction is L3, where 0<|L1−L2|≤L3/6.

14. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the second central axis coincides with the first main centroid axis.

15. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein the support strip has a second main centroid axis extending in the second direction; and

wherein the second central axis coincides with the second main centroid axis.

16. A mask plate, comprising the support strip according to claim 1 .

17. The support strip according to claim 1 , wherein each of the sizes of the first clamped portion and the second clamped portion in the first direction is L3, and L2<L1<L3<the size of the main body in the first direction.

18. A support strip having a support region and a clamped region, wherein the support strip comprises:

a main body disposed in the support region, in a first direction of the main body, the main body having two sides, and in a second direction of the main body, the main body having two ends;

irregular portions disposed in the support region and disposed on at least one of the two sides of the main body; and

a clamped portion disposed in the clamped region and disposed on at least one of the two ends of the main body;
