## Abstract

A sealing device including a mask for partially irradiating light and a method of manufacturing a display device using the sealing device is disclosed. The sealing device used to bond first and second substrates by interposing a sealing material at edges of the first and second substrates and by irradiating light to the sealing material comprises: a mask disposed on one side of the stage, in which a transmission portion is formed in correspondence to the formation position of the sealing member so that light can be irradiated to the sealing material; and an optical head irradiating the light to the sealing material through the transmission portion of the mask. A pattern for regulating the amount of the light irradiated to the sealing material is formed in the transmission portion of the mask.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of manufacturing a display device having first and second substrates and a sealing material, the method comprising:
providing a mask comprising a transmission portion;
irradiating light on the mask;
regulating the energy profile of the light irradiated across the sealing material interposed between the first and second substrates; and
bonding the sealing material to the first substrate and the second substrate,
wherein the transmission portion comprises a first region with a predetermined constant transmittance at a central portion, a second region with a single predetermined transmittance constant throughout the second region provided on both sides of the first region, and a third region with a single predetermined transmittance constant throughout the third region provided on both outer sides of the second region, and wherein the transmittances of patterns of the first region, the second region, and the third region are different from each other;
wherein the first region, each part of the second region on either side of the first region and each part of the third region on either side of the second region are substantially the same size; and
wherein the first, second, and third regions each comprise different line-shaped patterns comprising a plurality of opaque lines, and wherein the transmittance is controlled by the density of the opaque lines of the patterns.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein regulating the energy profile of the light comprises passing the light through the transmission portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the patterns are aligned with at least a part of the sealing material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein energy distribution of the light across the sealing material is controlled by the patterns.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the light comprises at least one of laser and infrared ray.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the display device comprises an organic light emitting display device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
mounting the first and second substrates to a stage by disposing the first substrate and the second substrate so as to be opposite to each other, with the sealing material being located between the first substrate and the second substrate; and
locating the mask in which a transmission portion is formed at a plurality of portions corresponding to the formed sealing material.
