Abstract

A vapor deposition mask preparation body in which a metal mask is provided on one surface of a resin plate for obtaining a resin mask, and a protective sheet with peel strength not less than about 0.0004 N/10 mm and less than about 0.2 N/10 mm in conformity with JIS Z-0237:2009 is provided on the other surface of the resin plate is prepared, with respect to the vapor deposition mask preparation body, the resin plate is irradiated with laser light from the metal mask side to form a resin mask opening corresponding to a pattern to be produced by vapor deposition in the resin plate, and the protective sheet is peeled off from the resin mask in which the resin mask opening corresponding to the pattern to be produced by vapor deposition is formed.

Claims (18)

1. A method for producing a vapor deposition mask including a metal mask in which a metal mask opening is formed and a resin mask in which a resin mask opening corresponding to a pattern to be produced by vapor deposition is formed at a position overlapping with the metal mask opening, the metal mask and the resin mask being stacked, the method comprising:

a step of preparing a vapor deposition mask preparation body in which the metal mask is provided on one surface of a resin plate for obtaining the resin mask, and a protective sheet with self-adsorption and peelability is adsorbed on the other surface of the resin plate;

a step of irradiating, with respect to the vapor deposition mask preparation body, the resin plate with laser light from the metal mask side to form the resin mask opening corresponding to the pattern to be produced by vapor deposition in the resin plate; and

a step of peeling off the protective sheet from the resin mask in which the resin mask opening corresponding to the pattern to be produced by vapor deposition is formed.

2. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the protective sheet adsorbed on the other surface of the resin plate is a protective sheet containing any one or both of a silicone-based resin and a urethane-based resin.

3. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the vapor deposition mask preparation body is a vapor deposition mask preparation body in which the metal mask is provided on one surface of the resin plate for obtaining the resin mask, and a plurality of the protective sheets are adsorbed on the other surface of the resin plate.

4. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 2 , wherein the vapor deposition mask preparation body is a vapor deposition mask preparation body in which the metal mask is provided on one surface of the resin plate for obtaining the resin mask, and a plurality of the protective sheets are adsorbed on the other surface of the resin plate.

5. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the resin plate is made of a resin material having a thermal expansion coefficient of 16 ppm/° C. or less.

6. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the resin plate is made of a resin material having a rate of humidity absorption of 1.0% or less.

7. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the resin plate is made of a resin material having a thermal expansion coefficient of 16 ppm/° C. or less and a rate of humidity absorption of 1.0% or less.

8. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the resin plate is 3 μm to 25 μm inclusive.

9. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the resin plate is 4 μm to 8 μm inclusive.

10. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the pattern is a high-definition pattern exceeding 400 ppi.

11. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the resin mask opening broadens toward the metal mask side.

12. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the metal mask is 5 μm to 100 μm inclusive.

13. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the metal mask is 5 μm to 35 μm inclusive.

14. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein the metal mask is made of an invar material.

15. The method for producing a vapor deposition mask according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the metal mask opening broadens toward a vapor deposition source.
