Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of masks, and more specifically, to a large-size public mask. Background Art

[0002] The open mask is a key jig for evaporating the common layer of OLED. The Invar raw material used is obtained by calendering, so the width of the Invar raw material is restricted by the calendering equipment. The width of the Invar raw material currently available on the market can meet the G6H size. However, with the rise of large-size OLEDs, the width of the Invar raw material can no longer meet the production requirements of the open mask. The large-size OLED uses a single mask strip to stretch the horizontal and vertical grids, which has the problem that the horizontal and vertical mask strips are not in the same plane, which leads to a prominent evaporation shadow problem when the common layer is evaporated. Therefore, for the evaporation of the common layer of large-size OLEDs, the mask is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content
