The present disclosure provides a manufacture method of a mask for evaporation and a mask. The manufacture method of a mask for evaporation includes: providing an open mask the open mask including at least one open region (BB); forming a photoresist layer at least in the at least one open region, at least a portion of a pattern of the photoresist layer in the open region (BB) being identical to a hollow portion pattern of the mask for evaporation; and depositing a material of the mask for evaporation in a region in which the photoresist layer is formed, so as to form the non-hollow portion pattern of the mask for evaporation, in which the non-hollow portion pattern is connected to a side wall of the open region at an edge of the non-hollow portion pattern.

The disclosure provides a mask sheet and a pixel structure. The mask sheet includes a mask opening configured to manufacture a sub-pixel in a pixel opening of a display panel. An area of the mask opening is greater than an area of the pixel opening corresponding thereto. The pixel opening includes at least one curved edge with an inner concave surface, the mask opening includes at least one mask edge, and the at least one mask sheet is in one-to-one correspondence with the at least one curved edge. A curvature of each mask edge is less than a curvature of the curved edge corresponding thereto.

A mask, a manufacturing method thereof, a fine metal mask, a mask device and a use method thereof are provided. The mask includes at least one opening region and a shielding part surrounding and defining the at least one opening region. The shielding part includes a main part and at least one protrusion, in each opening region, the protrusion is protruded towards the opening region on a side of the main part facing the opening region; the main part includes an edge disposed on a side of the protrusion opposite to the opening region and with an extension direction being a same with an extension direction of the protrusion, he protrusion and a portion of the main part disposed between the edge and the protrusion includes a thinning portion with a thickness being less than a thickness of other portions of the shielding part.

A composite stencil for applying designs to walls and other surfaces is disclosed. The stencil includes a porous textile support layer to which a flexible stencil mask is bonded by an adhesion layer. The support layer supports unconnected parts of the stencil mask without bridges common with traditional stencils. Further, the textile support layer in the open areas of the stencil can be colored with a sublimation dye to suggest to a user the colors that should be applied in the various areas of the stencil. A pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to the back of the stencil. In use, the stencil is removably adhered to a surface by the pressure sensitive adhesive, whereupon paint or other pigment is applied through the textile support layer to the surface. The lack of bridges permits the entire design to be applied with a single stencil in a single session. The stencil is cleanable and reusable to apply additional designs.

A framed stencil for surface mount technology (SMT) is provided. The frame assembly includes a frame member and a binding insert. The frame member includes an inner perimeter portion and an outer perimeter portion that cooperates with the inner perimeter portion to define an elongated channel. The outer perimeter portion includes a first cantilever portion that extends over the elongated channel and towards the inner perimeter portion. The binding insert is configured for releasable insertion into the elongated channel. The binding insert includes a base and a tongue. The base configured to interface with a mesh substrate to facilitate coupling therebetween. The tongue is coupled to the base and extends substantially horizontally from the base. When the binding insert is inserted into the elongated channel, the tongue extending beneath the first cantilever portion to facilitate retention of the binding insert to the frame member. Methods are also provided.
