Mask assembly and method of manufacturing display apparatus
A mask assembly includes: a mask frame having a plurality of sides including a first side extending in a first direction, and an opening area defined by the plurality of sides; a gap portion recessed in the first side in a second direction crossing the first direction; a mask sheet covering the opening area; and a gap adjustment portion tensile-welded to the mask frame across the gap portion.
1 . A mask assembly comprising:
a mask frame having a plurality of sides including a first side extending in a first direction, and an opening area defined by the plurality of sides;
a gap portion recessed in the first side in a second direction crossing the first direction in a plan view;
a mask sheet covering the opening area; and
a gap adjustment portion tensile-welded to the mask frame across the gap portion.
2 . The mask assembly of claim 1 , wherein the gap portion comprises:
a first portion recessed in the second direction in a plan view; and
a second portion at one end portion of the first portion, and recessed in the second direction, a width of at least part of the second portion being greater than a width of the first portion.
3 . The mask assembly of claim 2 , wherein the second portion has a circular shape in a plan view.
4 . The mask assembly of claim 2 , wherein the width of the first portion in the first direction is less than a length of the first portion in the second direction.
5 . The mask assembly of claim 2 , wherein the width of the first portion in the first direction gradually decreases along the second direction.
6 . The mask assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mask sheet comprises a first mask sheet and a second mask sheet parallel to each other in the first direction, and
the gap portion is spaced from the first mask sheet and the second mask sheet in the second direction, and located between the first mask sheet and the second mask sheet in the first direction.
7 . A mask assembly comprising:
a mask frame having a plurality of sides including a first side extending in a first direction, and an opening area defined by the plurality of sides;
a gap portion recessed in the first side in a second direction crossing the first direction;
a mask sheet covering the opening area; and
a gap adjustment portion tensile-welded to the mask frame across the gap portion,
wherein the mask sheet comprises a first mask sheet and a second mask sheet parallel to each other in the first direction, and
the gap portion is spaced from the first mask sheet and the second mask sheet in the second direction, and overlaps with each of a width of the first mask sheet extending in the first direction and a width of the second mask sheet extending in the first direction in the second direction.
