Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mask assembly includes: a mask frame; a mask supported by the mask frame, the mask including a plurality of pattern holes; and a magnetic part disposed on one surface of the mask. The magnetic part provides a magnetic force between the mask and a target substrate and improves an adhesion between the mask and the target substrate to prevent deposition defects.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for fabricating a mask assembly, the method comprising: forming a mask having a plurality of pattern holes arranged in a matrix form, the mask comprising: a first rib, and a second rib forming a plurality of intersection portions with the first rib; disposing a magnetic part on a surface of the mask; and magnetically adhering the mask onto a mask frame, wherein the magnetic part is positioned at only each of the plurality of intersection portions of the first rib and the second rib, an outline of the magnetic part is spaced apart from the plurality of pattern holes surrounded by the first rib and the second rib on a plane, the magnetic part has a first pitch along a first direction and a second pitch along a second direction intersecting the first direction with reference to the plurality of pattern holes, and the magnetic part comprises a magnetic particle and a resin. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disposing of the magnetic part comprises: disposing a solvent mixture comprising the magnetic particle and the resin on the surface of the mask; and curing the solvent mixture. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the magnetic particle is formed by coating a ferromagnetic material on a plastic particle.
