Abstract

A method of efficiently manufacturing a large-sized mask is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes: 1) providing a first mask member comprising i) a first pattern unit having a plurality of slits, ii) a first buffer unit spaced apart from the first pattern unit, and iii) a first bonding unit interconnecting the first pattern unit and the first buffer unit and 2) providing a second mask member comprising i) a second pattern unit having a plurality of slits, ii) a second buffer unit spaced apart from the second pattern unit, and iii) a second bonding unit interconnecting the second pattern unit and the second buffer unit. The method may further include contacting the first bonding unit and the second bonding unit; and connecting the first mask member to the second mask member while tensile forces are applied to the first mask member and the second mask member.
