Abstract

A mask according to an embodiment comprises: a first substrate; a first wiring arranged on the first substrate; a plurality of piezoelectric elements arranged on the first wiring; a second wiring arranged on the piezoelectric elements; a second substrate arranged on the second wiring; a third wiring arranged on the first substrate and electrically insulated from the first wiring; and a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged between the first and second substrates and arranged on the third wiring, wherein the plurality of light-emitting elements are arranged in areas overlapping, in a vertical direction, areas between the piezoelectric elements.

Claims (36)

1. A mask comprising: a first substrate; a first wiring disposed on the first substrate; a plurality of piezoelectric elements disposed on the first wiring; a second wiring disposed on the piezoelectric element; a second substrate disposed on the second wiring; a third wiring disposed on the first substrate and electrically insulated from the first wiring; and a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed between the first and second substrates and disposed on the third wiring, wherein the plurality of light-emitting elements are disposed in a region between the plurality of piezoelectric elements, wherein the light-emitting element includes a visible light-emitting element and an infrared light-emitting element disposed alternately with each other, and wherein the plurality of piezoelectric elements are disposed at different intervals according to the curved shape of a facial skin.

2. The mask of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first base layer disposed under the first substrate and a second base layer disposed on the second substrate.

3. The mask of claim 2 , comprising:

an electrode layer disposed on the second base layer,

wherein the electrode layer overlaps at least one of the piezoelectric element and the light-emitting element based on a vertical direction, and

the electrode layer has a line width of 550 μm or less and a thickness of 350 μm or less.

4. The mask of claim 3 , wherein the first base layer includes the same material as the second base layer and has a thickness that is equal to or smaller than that of the second base layer.

5. The mask of claim 4 , wherein a plurality of protrusions are disposed on one surface of the second base layer.

6. The mask of claim 5 , wherein the second substrate includes a plurality of through-holes corresponding to each of the plurality of light-emitting elements.

7. The mask of claim 5 , comprising:

a first protective layer disposed between the first and second substrates,

wherein the first protective layer is disposed surrounding the piezoelectric element and the light-emitting element.

8. The mask of claim 1 , comprising:

a first region and a second region,

wherein the visible light-emitting element is disposed at a ratio greater than that of the infrared light-emitting element in the first region,

the infrared light-emitting element is disposed at a ratio greater than that of the visible light-emitting element in the second region.

9. The mask of claim 1 , wherein elongation of the first wiring and the second wiring is 10% to 50%.

10. The mask of claim 1 , further comprising:

an indicator disposed on the second substrate.

11. The mask of claim 1 , comprising:

a sensing unit disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the sensing unit includes:

a first sensing electrode connected to the first wiring; and

a second sensing electrode connected to the second wiring, and

the first and second sensing electrodes do not overlap each other based on a vertical direction.

12. The mask of claim 11 , wherein the sensing unit does not overlap the piezoelectric element based on the vertical direction.

13. A skin care device comprising:

a main body in which one side thereof is an open region and an accommodation space is formed inside the open region; and

the mask of claim 1 which is disposed in the open region and connected to the main body.

14. The skin care device of claim 13 , comprising:

a sensing unit disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the sensing unit includes:

a first sensing electrode connected to the first wiring; and

a second sensing electrode connected to the second wiring, and

the first and second sensing electrodes do not overlap each other based on a vertical direction.
