Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The metal plate includes a plurality of pits located on the surface of the metal plate. The manufacturing method for a metal plate for use in manufacturing of a deposition mask includes an inspection step of determining a quality of the metal plate based on a sum of volumes of a plurality of pits located at a portion of the surface of the metal plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A metal plate for use in manufacturing of a deposition mask, the metal plate including pits located on a surface of the metal plate; wherein the surface includes an inspection area having an area of 0.1 mm 2 or more and some of the pits are located in the inspection area; wherein the metal plate has a corrected pit volume density of 15,000 μm 3 /mm 2 or less, the corrected pit volume density being calculated by dividing a corrected pit volume by the area of the inspection area; wherein the corrected pit volume is a sum of volumes of parts of the pits located in the inspection area, said parts of the pits being 0.2 μm or more away from the surface in the thickness direction of the metal plate; wherein the volumes of said part of the pits are calculated based on results for depths of the pits located in the inspection area, the depths being measured with a laser microscope. 2. The metal plate according to claim 1 , wherein the corrected pit volume density is 10 μm 3 /mm 2 or more. 3. The metal plate according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate is composed of an iron alloy containing nickel. 4. A deposition mask, comprising a metal plate including pits located on a surface; and through-holes formed in the metal plate, wherein the surface includes an inspection area having an area of 0.1 mm 2 or more and some of the pits are located in the inspection area; wherein the metal plate has a corrected pit volume density of 15,000 μm 3 /mm 2 or less, the corrected pit volume density being calculated by dividing a corrected pit volume by the area of the inspection area; wherein the corrected pit volume is a sum of volumes of parts of the pits located in the inspection area, said parts of the pits being 0.2 μm or more away from the surface in the thickness direction of the metal plate; wherein the volumes of said parts of the pits are calculated based on results for depths of the pits located in the inspection area, the depths being measured with a laser microscope. 5. The deposition mask according to claim 4 , wherein the corrected pit volume density is 10 μm 3 /mm 2 or more.
