Apparatus and method for manufacturing display device

An apparatus for manufacturing a display device, comprising:

• a first holding section configured to hold a first substrate;
• a second holding section configured to hold a second substrate;
• a turning section configured to turn the first holding section such that the first substrate and the second substrate face each other;
• a support section configured to support the first holding section after the turning;
• an adjustment section provided at one end of the support section and configured to adjust a distance between the first holding section after the turning and the one end of the support section;
• an elevation section configured to elevate the second holding section and attach the first substrate and the second substrate via an adhesive layer;
• and
• a floating section provided between the turning section and a first turning shaft, the floating section being configured such that the first holding section is displaceable with respect to the first turning shaft via the turning section, the floating section including a shaft section, a plate section, and at least one elastic section, the shaft section being a section of a second shaft and being provided on the first turning shaft of the turning section, the shaft section being inserted through one end side of the plate section, another end side of the plate section being provided on the first holding section, and the at least one elastic section is provided at a position between an end portion of the shaft section and one end side of the plate section along the shaft section.
