Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a vapor deposition mask, a framed vapor deposition mask, a vapor deposition mask manufacturing method, an organic device manufacturing method, and a framed vapor deposition mask manufacturing method.
- Display devices used in portable devices such as smartphones and tablets should preferably have high definition, for example, preferably have a pixel density of 400 ppi or more. Also, there is an increasing demand for portable devices to support Ultra High Definition (UHD). In this case, the pixel density of the display device is preferably 800 ppi or more, for example.
- organic EL display devices are attracting attention as an example of organic devices due to their good responsiveness, low power consumption, and high contrast.
- a method of forming pixels of an organic EL display device a method of forming pixels in a desired pattern using a vapor deposition mask having through holes arranged in a desired pattern is known. Specifically, first, a vapor deposition mask is combined with a vapor deposition substrate for an organic EL display device. Subsequently, a vapor deposition material containing an organic material is vapor-deposited on the vapor deposition substrate by passing through the through-holes of the vapor deposition mask.
- a vapor deposition layer containing a vapor deposition material (or a light-emitting layer of an organic EL display device) can be formed as pixels on the vapor deposition substrate in the same pattern as the through holes of the vapor deposition mask (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). .
- a method of manufacturing such a vapor deposition mask As an example of a method of manufacturing such a vapor deposition mask, a method of forming through holes in a plate member by an etching process using a photolithography technique is known.
- An object of the present disclosure is to provide a deposition mask, a framed deposition mask, a deposition mask manufacturing method, an organic device manufacturing method, and a framed deposition mask manufacturing method that can improve definition.
- a vapor deposition mask includes a mask substrate including silicon, a mask layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and facing the mask substrate; and a through hole.
- the mask substrate has a substrate opening. In plan view, the through-hole is positioned within the substrate opening.
