For example, the distance between the top surface of the longitudinal bracing item and the top surface of the frame are equal to the mask substrate The distance between the top surface of top surface and the frame makes longitudinal bracing item and the common support substrate substrate of mask substrate, Ke Yigeng Mitigate mask substrate well and squeezed the deformation generated by underlay substrate, extends the service life of mask plate, reduce mask substrate Damage avoids the deformation of mask substrate that the patterns of openings of the effective district of mask substrate is caused to be deformed and colour cast occurs and even mix The problem of color.
For example, frame is square frame, cross-brace item blocks item and longitudinal bracing item in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, laterally props up Stay is adapted with the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove respectively, is blocked and article is mutually fitted with third mounting groove and the 4th mounting groove respectively It answers, make cross-brace item and blocks item and be preferably positioned on frame.For another example, the extending direction of cross-brace item and item is blocked Extending direction is mutually perpendicular to, and mask plate is made to distribute as net shape.For example, the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are along the cross of frame To extension, and the center line of the first mounting groove is overlapped with the center line of the second mounting groove, makes the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove By being disposably process, the manufacture difficulty of mask plate is greatly reduced;Third mounting groove and the 4th mounting groove are along frame It is longitudinal extend, and the center line of third mounting groove is overlapped with the center line of the 4th mounting groove, makes third mounting groove and the 4th peace Tankage greatly reduces the manufacture difficulty of mask plate by being disposably process.For example, the number of cross-brace item is two A, the number of the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove is two, and the both ends of each cross-brace article are located at corresponding In one mounting groove and corresponding second mounting groove, two cross-brace items support jointly blocks item, avoid blocking the deformation of item compared with Greatly.For another example, two cross-brace items are parallel to each other, and there are distances between two cross-brace items, make two cross-brace items Preferably item, mask substrate and underlay substrate are blocked in support.Referring again to Fig. 2, for example, frame includes the first frame side 140, second Frame in 150, third frame 160 and the 4th frame side 170, the first frame while both ends respectively with the second frame while and the 4th frame side connect, Third frame while both ends respectively with the second frame it is outlying from the first frame while the outlying end from the first frame side in end and the 4th frame connect It connects, the first frame is parallel to each other while with third frame, and the second frame is parallel to each other while with four frames, and two cross-braces article are with One frame side is parallel, make the first frame in, the second frame, third frame while and when four frames surround square frame jointly.Two first peaces Tankage is opened on the 4th frame side, and two the second mounting grooves are opened on the second frame side.Third mounting groove is opened in first On frame side, the 4th mounting groove is opened on third frame side.For another example, the distance between two described cross-braces article are equal to described the Cross-brace item the distance between of one frame while with neighbouring first frame, and the distance between two cross-brace items are equal to Cross-brace item the distance between of third frame while with the neighbouring third frame, in this case, the first frame side, third Item is blocked in frame side and two cross-brace mutual distance supports, keeps the deflection for blocking item minimum, ensure that covering for mask plate Film precision.
For example, the number for blocking item is N+1, the number of mask substrate be it is N number of, N+1 block item and are parallel to each other, N number of Mask substrate is parallel to each other, and each blocks item and be parallel to each other with each mask substrate.Third mounting groove and the 4th mounting groove Number is N+1, each blocks and article is located in corresponding third mounting groove and corresponding 4th mounting groove;N+1 block item It is overlapped with cross-brace item, cross-brace item is made to support N+1 to block item respectively;The number of longitudinal bracing item is N+1, N+ 1 longitudinal bracing item and N number of mask substrate interval are arranged side by side, and N+1 longitudinal bracing item is parallel to each other, and make N+1 longitudinal direction Support bar can preferably support substrate substrate, keep the pushing gravity of underlay substrate suffered by support bar longitudinally in each smaller, in this way The deflection of single longitudinal bracing item can be reduced.For another example, N+1 longitudinal bracing item is spaced apart, longitudinally in each support bar with It each blocks that item is corresponding, keeps the deflection of support bar longitudinally in each more uniform.For example, being deposited between two neighboring mask substrate Item is blocked at one, makes to block gap of the item for blocking between two mask substrates and blocks item in other embodiments and also use In blocking the gap between mask substrate of the third frame in neighbouring third frame while, and for blocking the 4th frame side and neighbouring the Gap between the mask substrate on four frame sides.For example, the distance between two neighboring longitudinal bracing article is equal to the 4th frame Bian Yulin The distance between the longitudinal bracing article on the nearly 4th frame side, the distance between two neighboring longitudinal bracing item are equal to the second frame side With the distance between the longitudinal bracing item on neighbouring second frame side, the deflection of longitudinal bracing item can be made minimum, ensure that The exposure mask precision of mask plate.In the present embodiment, N=3.It is appreciated that in other embodiments, the number of longitudinal bracing item N+1 can be less than, for example, a longitudinal bracing item is arranged at interval of two mask substrates, in the stress for guaranteeing mask substrate The usage amount for reducing longitudinal bracing item under the lesser situation of deflection, reduces the manufacturing cost of mask plate.
As shown in figure 9, the sag of chain of the longitudinal bracing item is less than the mask substrate in one of the embodiments, Sag of chain, the i.e. amount of naturally drooping of longitudinal bracing item are less than the amount of naturally drooping of mask substrate, make applying for subsequent magnetic force systems Add the step of making mask substrate flatten with certain reserved space, longitudinal bracing item also made to touch underlay substrate first, So that mask substrate is avoided the extruding of underlay substrate, is deformed to control mask substrate and damages the degree scrapped, it can be compared with It avoids mask plate the situation of uneven fold occur well, also i other words, is covered since the amount of naturally drooping of longitudinal bracing item is less than The amount of naturally drooping of ilm substrate makes to unfold space with certain when upward adsorption of the mask substrate by magnetic force systems. Figure 10 is the schematic diagram for the process that magnetic force systems and underlay substrate are applied to mask plate, i.e. magnetic force systems 20 and underlay substrate 30 are equal It moves in the direction of the arrow, during being moved in the direction of the arrow with magnetic force systems 20 and underlay substrate 30, longitudinal bracing item 500 and mask substrate 400 by the magneticaction of magnetic force systems, make the magnetic of magnetic force systems suffered by longitudinal bracing item and mask substrate Power is increasingly greater than the gravity of itself, is gradually reduced the sag of chain of longitudinal bracing item and mask substrate, until underlay substrate supports It is connected on longitudinal bracing item 500 and mask substrate 400.Figure 11 is that magnetic force systems and underlay substrate are entirely applied on mask plate Schematic diagram, the sag of chain of the sag of chain and mask substrate that make longitudinal bracing item are zero, and underlay substrate is connected to completely at this time On longitudinal bracing item 500 and mask substrate (not shown), due under the nature of longitudinal bracing item before the application of magnetic force systems The amount of hanging down is less than the amount of naturally drooping of mask substrate, makes the application of magnetic force systems the step of so that mask substrate is flattened with certain Reserved space also makes longitudinal bracing item touch underlay substrate first, so that mask substrate is made to avoid the extruding of underlay substrate, with Control mask substrate is deformed and damages the degree scrapped, and mask plate can preferably be avoided the feelings of uneven fold occur Shape.
As shown in Fig. 2, the frame includes frame body 100a, the first lug boss 100b in one of the embodiments, With the second lug boss 100c, first mounting groove, second mounting groove, the third mounting groove and the 4th mounting groove It is opened on the frame body, first boss connects in the third mounting groove and with the frame body It connects, second boss is connect in the 4th mounting groove and with the frame body;Referring also to Figure 12, the screening Offer the first escape groove 310 and the second escape groove 320 on blend stop, first boss in first escape groove, For second boss in second escape groove, the longitudinal bracing article is also placed in first lug boss and described On two lug bosses, makes to block item and be preferably positioned on frame;In addition, longitudinal bracing item is also placed in the first lug boss and second convex In the portion of rising, the first lug boss, the second lug boss and frame is set to support longitudinal bracing item jointly, such longitudinal bracing item acts on screening On the power decomposed to the first lug boss and the second lug boss of blend stop, that is, reduce effect of the longitudinal bracing item to item is blocked Power avoids the anode pattern blocked in the larger patterns of openings and underlay substrate caused in mask substrate of deformation of item cannot be preferable It is identical in addition there are gaps, keep the masking effect of mask substrate preferable, to keep the exposure mask precision of mask plate higher.And/or First escape groove and second escape groove are opened in the both ends for blocking item respectively in one of the embodiments,.
