Abstract
Provided is a mask assembly. The mask assembly includes a mask frame and a mask. The mask is coupled to the mask frame to distinguish first to third deposition areas from each other. Each of the first and third deposition areas has a first width greater than a reference width in a first direction and a second width less than the first width in a second direction. The second deposition area has a third width less than the first width in the first direction and a fourth width less than the reference width in the second direction.
Claims3
A mask assembly comprising:
- a mask frame comprising a first support part extending in a first direction, a second support part spaced apart from the first support part and extending in the first direction, a third support part extending in a second direction and disposed between one end of the first support part and one end of the second support part, and a fourth support part spaced apart from the third support part, extending in the second direction, and disposed between the other end of the first support part and the other end of the second support part;
- and
- a mask coupled to the mask frame, wherein the mask comprises:
- a first masking part coupled to the first support part and the third support part and comprising a first opening corresponding to a first deposition area;
- a second masking part coupled to the first support part, the fourth support part, and the first masking part and comprising a second opening corresponding to a second deposition area;
- a third masking part coupled to the third support part, the first masking part, and the second masking part and comprising a third opening corresponding to a third deposition area;
- a fourth masking part coupled to the fourth support part, the second masking part, and the third masking part and comprising a fourth opening corresponding to a fourth deposition area;
- and
- a fifth masking part couple to the second support part, the third support part, the third masking part, and fourth masking part and comprising a fifth opening corresponding to a fifth deposition area,
- wherein the first deposition area, the third deposition area, and the fifth deposition area are arranged in the second direction, the second deposition area and the fourth deposition area are arranged in the second direction,
- wherein each of the first deposition area, the third deposition area and the fifth deposition area has a first width greater than a reference width in the first direction and a second width less than the first width in the second direction, and each of the second deposition area and the fourth deposition area has a third width less than the first width in the first direction and a fourth width greater than the reference width in the second direction, and
- wherein a diagonal length of the first deposition area is greater than a diagonal length of the second deposition area.
