Claim:
1. A method of performing deposition on a substrate, the method comprising: completing a deposition process on the substrate by depositing a deposition material from a deposition source which holds the deposition material, after passing the deposition material through a first nozzle unit comprising a plurality of first slit units arranged in a first axis direction of the substrate, and a second nozzle unit comprising a plurality of second slit units arranged in the first axis direction, wherein the deposition source and the first and second nozzle units are configured to move relative to the substrate in a second axis direction perpendicular to the first axis direction during the deposition process, and wherein the second nozzle unit defines a pattern of the deposition material on the substrate; entering a stand-by mode between the deposition process and another deposition process; inserting a deposition blade into a space between the first and second nozzle units by moving the deposition source and the first and second nozzle units along the second axis direction, to block the deposition material passing through the first nozzle from passing through the second nozzle unit during the stand-by mode; and removing the deposition blade from the space by moving the first and second nozzle units along the second axis direction, to allow the deposition material to pass through the second nozzle unit during the another deposition process.
