Abstract: An apparatus for aligning a tray and tray holder, including a vertically positioned tray formed with coupling holes and a tray holder having coupling arms to couple with the coupling holes, and to prevent the bending of the tray and the tray holder. The tray includes a substrate frame that can receive a substrate, and the tray holder is coupled with a drive shaft for transferring the tray in the vertical position to a mask for vapor deposition. One end of a plurality of guide shafts securely contacts the rear side of the tray holder to prevent bending of the tray holder. The tray can have magnetic attaching members and the tray holder can have supporting members corresponding to the attaching members. The supporting members can magnetically couple with the attaching members in a position determined by corresponding grooves or protrusions to align the tray and tray holder.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a pattern on a mask sheet including an attaching portion to be attached to a mask frame, and a pattern area in which the pattern is formed. The method includes positioning the mask sheet on an auxiliary sheet with a thickness greater than the thickness of the mask sheet, fastening the auxiliary sheet to the mask frame, applying a stretching force to the mask sheet and the auxiliary sheet, and forming the pattern on the pattern area of the mask sheet. Thus, a predetermined pattern is formed on a mask sheet while a uniformly distributed external force is applied to the mask sheet, so that bending or deflecting out of plane by the mask sheet is prevented, thereby forming a precise mask pattern.

Abstract: Apparatus for a deposition system includes a sealing apparatus that seals the drive shaft from the deposition material to prevent the deposition material from adhering to the drive shaft, a moving apparatus to reduce the weight of a shelf on the drive shaft, and a collision-preventing apparatus that measures the distance between a shelf and an adjacent article.

Abstract: A device for aligning a substrate and a mask, and a method using the same, where the device includes aligning marks in unused portions of the substrate and the mask, a sensing unit for determining overlap of the aligning marks when the substrate is aligned with the mask, and a control unit for controlling an aligning process to be repeated on the basis of data sensed and determined by the sensing unit. The sensing unit may include a camera positioned in photographic range to determine any alignment error in the alignment marks. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the alignment error between the substrate and the mask is sensed to determine whether it is acceptable or not. When the alignment error is unacceptable, the operations for aligning the substrate with the mask are repeated until the alignment error is acceptable.
