6. The rolling device of claim 1 , further comprising a first stepped portion comprising a first step height from the surface of the first roller to a surface of the first stepped portion and disposed at an end of the first roller; and

a second stepped portion comprising a second step height from the surface of the second roller to a surface of the second stepped portion and disposed at an end of the second roller.

7. The rolling device of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a total surface area of the plurality of third protrusions to a total surface area the surface of the third roller is in a range of about 1/5 to about 1/4, and

a ratio of a total surface area of the plurality of fourth protrusions to a total surface area of the surface the fourth roller is in a range of about 1/5 to about 1/4.

8. The rolling device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of third protrusions and the plurality of fourth protrusions each independently comprise a dot structure, a lattice structure, or a combination thereof.

9. The rolling device of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of third gas receiving portions, wherein a third gas receiving portion of the plurality of third gas receiving portions is disposed between third protrusions of the plurality of third protrusions; and

a plurality of fourth gas receiving portions, wherein a fourth gas receiving portion of the plurality of fourth gas receiving portions is disposed between fourth protrusions of the plurality of fourth protrusions.

10. The rolling device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first stepped portion comprising a first step height from the surface of the first roller to a surface of the first stepped portion and disposed at an end of the first roller;

a second stepped portion comprising a second step height from the second roller to a surface of the second stepped portion and disposed at an end of the second roller;

a fourth stepped portion comprising a fourth step height from the surface of the fourth roller to a surface of the fourth stepped portion and disposed at an end of the fourth roller.

11. The rolling device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a fifth roller disposed in a proceeding direction relative to the third roller; and

a sixth roller opposite the fifth roller.

12. The rolling device of claim 11 , wherein both the fifth roller and the sixth roller comprise a flat surface without protrusions.

13. The rolling device of claim 11 , further comprising:
