  • Patent number: 11433484
    Abstract: A deposition mask in which a resin film can be completely removed in opening portions, a method of manufacturing the deposition mask, and a mask member for the deposition mask are provided. A light irradiation source for laser light is disposed on one side of a resin film (11) and emits the laser light for forming a pattern of opening portions. A reflective film (30) is provided on another side of the resin film (11) and reflects light having a wavelength of the laser light emitted from the light irradiation source for the laser light. The laser light reflected by the reflective film (30) is used to form the patterns of the opening portion (11a) in the resin film (11).

  • Publication number: 20220220600
    Abstract: A vapor deposition method and a vapor deposition apparatus that, when a vapor deposition material is deposited on a substrate, make it possible to form deposition layer pattern precisely so that the deposition layer pattern is formed uniformly without a gap formed between a deposition mask and the substrate. A deposition mask is disposed with its periphery held by a frame. A substrate on which a vapor deposition layer is to be formed is mounted over the deposition mask. A vapor deposition source is disposed facing the deposition mask and evaporates a vapor deposition material. The vapor deposition is performed while the substrate is pressed vertically at a position of a center of deflection of the deposition mask and on an upper surface of the substrate until that a length of the substrate substantially becomes identical to a length of the deposition mask being bowed down and expanded.

  • Publication number: 20220181594
    Abstract: A metal layer is formed on a first surface of a flat-plate-like support member, and then a resin cured layer is formed on the metal layer. The resin cured layer is irradiated with laser light for fine processing to form a desired fine pattern, thereby manufacturing a resin film having a fine pattern. Subsequently, ultraviolet light having a wavelength different from that of the laser light for fine processing is irradiated toward a second surface of the support member, which is opposed to the first surface to detach the resin film from the support member.
