In the above embodiment, i.gtoreq.1, the even numbered row of the 2i th row, the 2i-1 th row and the 2i+1 th row are located in the odd numbered rows on both sides of the 2i th row, in any section of the mask body perpendicular to the thickness direction of the mask body, the vapor deposition openings 10 adjacently arranged in the column direction are located, the masked region 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i-1 th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i th row has the first minimum distance h1, the masked region 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i+1 th row has the second minimum distance h2, that is, in each section along the thickness direction of the mask body at each column position as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the covering areas 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 arranged along the column direction are alternately distributed at the first minimum distance h1 and the second minimum distance h2, the h1 and the h2 are unequal, the area of the cross section corresponding to the larger one of the first minimum distance h1 and the second minimum distance h2 is larger, and the larger cross section area can play a main supporting role because larger stress can be borne, so that the stress transmission is transmitted along the part corresponding to the larger one of the h1 and the h2 in the covering area 11 in the net stretching process, the stress influence on the part corresponding to the smaller one of the h1 and the h2 in the covering area 11 is weakened, the phenomenon of fold caused by the concentration of the net surface stress in the net stretching process can be effectively improved, the vapor deposition color mixing is prevented, and the yield is greatly improved.
Since the columns extend in the second direction y when the rows extend in the first direction x and the columns extend in the first direction x when the rows extend in the second direction y, the first direction and the second direction intersect, in one possible embodiment the rows extend in the first direction x and the columns extend in the second direction y perpendicular to the first direction x, in another possible embodiment the rows extend in the first direction x and the columns extend in the second direction y perpendicular to the first direction x.
In the above embodiment, when the rows extend in the first direction x and the columns extend in the second direction y perpendicular to the first direction x, one possible embodiment is: the minimum distances of the mask zones 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 adjacently arranged in the row direction are the first minimum distance h1 or the second minimum distance h2, and h1+noteh2, specifically, the first minimum distance h1 may be greater than the second minimum distance h2, or the first minimum distance h1 may be less than the second minimum distance h2.
In a possible implementation manner, the rows extend along the first direction x, the columns extend along the second direction y perpendicular to the first direction x, the vapor deposition openings 10 in the mask plate main body 1 are distributed in n columns×m rows, in any section of the mask plate main body perpendicular to the thickness direction of the mask plate main body, the vapor deposition openings 10 adjacently arranged along the column direction are located, a first minimum distance h1 is formed between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i-1 th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2 i-th row in a masking zone 11, a second minimum distance h2 is formed between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2 i-th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i+1-th row in a masking zone 11, wherein m and n are integers greater than 1, 1.ltoreq.i (m-1)/2 are integers, and h1+.h2; the minimum distances of the mask regions 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 adjacently arranged in the row direction are the second minimum distances h2. Because the area of the cross section corresponding to the larger of the first minimum distance h1 and the second minimum distance h2 is larger in each cross section along the thickness direction of the mask plate, the larger cross section area can play a main supporting role because of being capable of bearing larger stress, and in the embodiment, fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram when h1> h2, so that the minimum distance between the minimum distances of the shielding areas between adjacent rows of the precision mask plate shown in fig. 1 is the first minimum distance h1 in the process of stretching, the condition that the stress is concentrated in a small range in the process of stretching can be effectively improved, and the probability of wrinkles in the precision mask plate after stretching is reduced; the same applies to the above embodiments when h1 < h2, and the description thereof is omitted.

Because the area of the cross section corresponding to the larger of the first minimum distance h1 and the second minimum distance h2 is larger in each cross section along the thickness direction of the mask plate, the larger cross section area can play a main supporting role because of being capable of bearing larger stress, and fig. 4 shows a schematic structural diagram when h1> h2 in the embodiment, in the process of stretching the mask plate, the stress is mainly transmitted along the position where the minimum distance of the shielding area between the adjacent rows and the adjacent columns is the first minimum distance h1, so that the condition that the stress is concentrated in a small range in the process of stretching the mask plate can be effectively improved, and the probability of wrinkling in the precision mask plate after stretching the mask plate is reduced; the same applies to the above embodiments when h1 < h2, and the description thereof is omitted.

When the rows extend in a first direction x and the columns extend in a second direction y perpendicular to the first direction x, another possible embodiment is: the vapor deposition openings 10 in the mask plate main body 1 are distributed in n columns and m rows, in any section of the mask plate main body vertical to the thickness direction of the mask plate main body, the first minimum distance h1 is reserved in a covering area 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i-1 th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2 i-th row, the second minimum distance h2 is reserved in the covering area 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2 i-th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2i+1-th row, and m and n are integers larger than 1, and i is not smaller than 1 (m-1)/2 and is an integer; in any section of the mask plate main body perpendicular to the thickness direction of the mask plate main body, in the vapor deposition openings 10 adjacently arranged along the row direction, the minimum distance of the covering region 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2j-1 th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2 j-th row is a second extension distance h2, the minimum distance of the covering region 11 between the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2 j-th row and the vapor deposition openings 10 of the 2j+1 th row is a first extension distance h1, h1 is not equal to h2, and 1 is not less than j (n-1)/2 and is an integer; fig. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram when h1> h2 in one of the above embodiments.
In the above two embodiments, in the cross section of the mask body 1 along the thickness direction of the mask body, the masked areas 11 between the adjacent vapor deposition openings 10 arranged along the column direction are alternately distributed with the first minimum distance h1 and the second minimum distance h2, and in the cross section of the mask body 1 along the thickness direction of the mask body at each row position, the masked areas 11 between the adjacent vapor deposition openings 10 arranged along the row direction are alternately distributed with the first minimum distance h1 and the second minimum distance h2, h1 and h2 are not equal, and since the area of the cross section corresponding to the larger one of the first minimum distance h1 and the second minimum distance h2 is larger in each cross section along the thickness direction of the mask body, the larger cross section area can play a main supporting role because of bearing larger bridge stress, thereby ensuring the strength of the masked areas 11 corresponding to the larger one of the h1 and h2 between the rows and the columns, and transmitting the stress areas 11 as the main stress areas along the masked areas h1 and h2 when the main stress areas 11 are transmitted along the larger one of the mask body.
