Mask and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A mask that facilitates OLED processing and is capable of being made cost-effectively is presented. The mask includes a mask frame, a connection frame fastened to the mask frame, a mask plate welded to the connection frame, and a plurality of fastening members that fasten the connection frame to the mask frame. The connection frame, which is capable of being welded to the mask plate, is interposed between the mask plate and the mask frame to create a tension in the mask plate. Thus, it is possible to manufacture a shadow mask that does not sag. The mask frame may be formed with a light metal such as aluminum.
