Manufacturing method of organic light emitting diode display

1. A manufacturing method of an organic light emitting diode display, the method comprising:

setting, on a mother substrate, a plurality of panel areas of which boundary lines contact each other in a row direction and a column direction;

forming a plurality of display units in the plurality of panel areas, respectively;

forming a plurality of thin film encapsulations on the plurality of display units, respectively; and

cutting the mother substrate along the boundary lines to divide the mother substrate into a plurality of display panels,

wherein forming of the plurality of thin film encapsulations includes forming the thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a first column among the plurality of panel areas and forming the plurality of thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a second column adjacent to the first column.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the panel areas positioned in the first column include panel areas positioned in an odd numbered column, and

the panel areas positioned in the second column include panel areas positioned in an even numbered column.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

in forming the thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a first column among the plurality of panel areas, a first deposition mask with a plurality of first openings exposing some of the panel areas positioned in the odd numbered column is used, and

in forming the plurality of thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a second column adjacent to the first column, a second deposition mask with a plurality of second openings exposing some of the panel areas positioned in the even numbered column is used.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

each of the first deposition mask and the second deposition mask is prepared by a metal plate, and

a distance between the first openings and a distance between the second openings in the row direction and the column direction are each larger than 1.5 mm.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the first deposition mask is shifted in the row direction to be used as the second deposition mask.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the first deposition mask is prepared by a metal plate, and

a distance between the first openings in the row direction and the column direction is larger than 1.5 mm.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the first deposition mask includes a plurality of first stick masks corresponding to the panel areas in the odd numbered column, and a plurality of first blocking plates positioned between the plurality of first stick masks.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the second deposition mask includes a plurality of second stick masks corresponding to the panel areas in the even numbered column, and a plurality of second blocking plates positioned between the plurality of second stick masks.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first deposition mask is fixed to a frame in forming the thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a first column among the plurality of panel areas and separated from the frame after forming the thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a first column among the plurality of panel areas, and

the positions of the plurality of first stick masks and the plurality of first blocking plates are exchanged with one another to be fixed to the frame and used as the second deposition mask.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the thin film encapsulation includes a first inorganic layer, a first organic layer, and a second inorganic layer, and

forming the first inorganic layer, the first organic layer, and the second inorganic layer includes forming the thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a first column among the plurality of panel areas and forming the plurality of thin film encapsulations in panel areas positioned in a second column adjacent to the first column.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the cutting of the mother substrate includes:

cutting the boundary lines of the panel areas in any one direction of the row direction and the column direction to divide the mother substrate into a plurality of sticks, and

cutting the boundary lines of the panel areas in the other direction of the row direction and the column direction in each of the plurality of sticks to divide each stick into a plurality of display panels.
