  • Patent number: 10533246
    Abstract: The present invention provides a deposition mask including: a mask layer having an aperture pattern that is formed in conformity with a transparent electrode to be formed on a display surface of a display panel, with the same shape and size as the transparent electrode; and a support layer having plural support lines formed on one surface of the mask layer across the aperture pattern. In the mask, an arrangement pitch for the support lines of the support layer is set so as to reduce moire fringes or diffraction fringes that appear due to shadows of the support lines, which are transferred onto the transparent electrode as unevenness in deposition thickness.
