  • Publication number: 20250075305
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a deposition mask includes depositing a seed metal layer on a front surface of a silicon substrate, forming a first photoresist pattern defining first openings on the seed metal layer, growing a plating layer in the first openings of the first photoresist pattern, forming a mask membrane by removing the first photoresist pattern and leaving the plating layer, depositing a protection layer to cover a front surface of the mask membrane, forming a second photoresist pattern defining cell opening corresponding to unit masks, respectively, on a back surface of the silicon substrate, exposing the seed metal layer by etching the back surface of the silicon substrate using the second photoresist pattern as a mask, exposing a back surface of the mask membrane by etching the seed metal layer using the second photoresist pattern as a mask, and removing the protection layer.

  • Publication number: 20250059637
    Abstract: A deposition mask includes a mask body including a silicon substrate, where a plurality of holes is defined through the mask body, and the mask body further includes mask grids extending to define the holes. A cross section of each mask grid has a reverse tapered shape having a width increasing from a back surface to an upper surface of the deposition mask, and each side surface of each mask grid defining a hole includes a first concave curved surface.

  • Publication number: 20140372179
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a real-time analysis of social network service (SNS) data associated with a multimedia content service. Particularly, SNS users may be classified into active SNS users and non-active SNS users, based on an SNS activity amount. SNS data collection/analysis periods may be differently determined according to SNS user types. Furthermore, a statistical analysis result of the SNS data may be directly or indirectly provided to one or more user equipment such that the SNS data analysis result can be displayed along with a corresponding multimedia content.
