Linear evaporation source and vacuum deposition apparatus including the same
A linear evaporation source is disclosed. In one aspect, the source includes a crucible storing an evaporated material, a heater unit surrounding the crucible and heating the crucible, and a plurality of lateral reflectors surrounding a lateral surface of the heater unit. Each of the lateral reflectors includes a first reflector combined with the heater unit while being spaced apart from the heater unit and having a plurality of first openings and a second reflector movably combined with the first reflector and having a second opening. Open ratios of the lateral reflectors are independently adjusted to control a temperature of the crucible according to areas of the crucible. Thus, deposition uniformity of the linear evaporation source is enhanced.
