图1为现有技术的UV掩模设计的示意图。如图1(a)所示，对于UV掩模，在基板的斜线阴影区域涂覆有遮光金属。图1(b)示出了具有液晶显示区域和封框胶的玻璃基板。遮光金属将不需要UV固化的部分挡住，需要固化的部分能够暴露在UV光下进行预固化。由于紫外光对液晶分子有损伤，所以在固化过程中，必须将液晶显示区域部分遮蔽。对于不同产品，由于需要遮蔽的显示区域不同，需要制作不同的UV掩模玻璃基板。
图2是根据本公开文本的一个实施例的掩模的示意图。如图2所示，掩模具有基板和掩蔽层。掩蔽层包括光转换材料，该光转换材料可以将入射光转换成能够使可固化材料固化的出射光。
掩模上的图案的形状并非限制于图2中所示的长方形，也可以为任何需要的形状。掩模上的图案的个数也并非限制于图2中所示的6个，也可以为任何需要的数目。此外，可根据实际需要来设置每个图案的边框宽度和大小。
基板可以包括本领域采用的任何基板，优选为透明基板。基板包括下列材料中的至少一种：玻璃、PMMA、PET和PC。
可固化材料可以为本领域采用的任何可固化材料，包括但不限制于紫外固化胶。在一种实施方式中，可固化材料包括封框胶。
容易理解，在使用本实施例的掩模进行固化时，需要将掩模的掩蔽层与可固化材料对准，即，掩蔽层的位置和图案与要被固化的可固化材料的位置和图案相对应。
在一种实施方式中，光转换材料包括上转换材料。优选地，该上转换材料包括用于将可见光转换成紫外光的可见光-紫外光转换材料。以下将以光转换材料为可见光-紫外光转换材料进行示例性说明。需要指出的是，本公开的光转换材料并非仅限于可见光-紫外光转换材料，也可以包括任何其它适合于进行固化的光转换材料。
对于液晶面板的情况，在一种实施方式中，由于可以使用可见光作入射光，而可见光不会像紫外光那样损伤液晶分子，因此与现有技术不同，无需将显示区域所对应的掩模的区域遮蔽，仅需在封框胶对应的掩模的区域处设置具有可见光-紫外光转换材料的掩蔽层。
光转换材料可以包括下列材料中的至少一种：NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+；CaF2(Er3+)；ZrO2(Er3+)；Ca3(PO4)2:Tm3+。优选地，光转换材料可以吸收波长480nm左右的蓝光，发射波长332nm、376nm左右的紫外光。
掩蔽层还可以进一步地包括粘合剂。优选使用具有下列性质的材料作为粘合剂：光透过率高、性质稳定、受可见光及紫外光照射不发生分解或聚合、以及易清洗。粘合剂可以包括任何合适的胶状树脂。例如，热固化类的环氧树脂可以用作粘合剂。
在掩蔽层还包括粘合剂的情况下，在一个实施例中，形成掩模可以包括：提供基板；将粘合剂和光转换材料混合以形成混合物；将混合物按照特定图案设置在基板上以形成掩蔽层。
图3是根据本公开文本的一个实施例的固化设计的侧视示意图。图3所示的固化方法使用了图2所示的掩模。需要注意，图中所示的上下关系 仅为示意性的，而非限制本公开文本。
在图3示出的固化方法中，在可固化材料之上提供掩模，在掩模侧提供入射光以固化可固化材料，掩模的掩蔽层与可固化材料相对准并且包括光转换材料，其中，光转换材料用于将入射光转换成能够使可固化材料固化的出射光。
在一个实施例中，具体地，在显示区域附近设置了包括可固化材料的封框胶，在掩模的透明基板上设置了含有上转换材料的掩蔽层。从光源处朝向掩模发出作为入射光的可见光。一部分入射光穿过掩模的掩蔽层，由于受到隐蔽层的上转换材料的影响，此部分入射光被转换成能够使封框胶固化的紫外光；另一部分入射光则不发生波长改变而直接穿过掩模的除了掩蔽层之外的区域。由于含有上转换材料的隐蔽层与封框胶相对准，封框胶受到从掩蔽层出射的紫外光的影响而固化，因而无需遮蔽对应于诸如液晶显示区域的其他部分，简化了制造工艺并降低制造成本。
上转换材料可以包括下列材料中的至少一种：NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+；CaF2(Er3+)；ZrO2(Er3+)；Ca3(PO4)2:Tm3+。
掩蔽层还可以包括粘合剂。粘合剂优选包括诸如环氧树脂的热固化树脂。在一个实施例中，可以将混有上转换材料的胶状树脂涂覆在透明基板上，涂覆图案与需预固化玻璃基板上的封框胶的图案相对应。
在掩模侧提供入射光完成光固化之后，还可以进一步地对可固化材料(例如，封框胶)进行热固化。
与现有技术相比，本技术只需要一块基板(例如，透明基板)，针对不同产品，可以涂覆具有不同图案的掩蔽层(例如，树脂)，通过掩蔽层发出出射光(例如，紫外光)，来对可固化材料(例如，封框胶)进行固化。不同产品之间切换时，只需要将掩蔽层清洗掉然后重新涂覆即可。各产品之间无需制作不同掩模(例如，UV掩模)，节约了基板(例如，玻璃基板)，降低了成本。且无需储存调动掩模，节约了生产时间。
已经描述了某特定实施例，这些实施例仅通过举例的方式展现，而且不旨在限制本公开文本的范围。事实上，本文所描述的新颖实施例可以以各种 其它形式来实施；此外，可在不脱离本公开文本的精神下，做出以本文所描述的实施例的形式的各种省略、替代和改变。所附权利要求以及它们的等价物旨在覆盖落在本公开文本范围和精神内的此类形式或者修改。
