Separation apparatus and separation method for flexible display panel

A flexible display panel separation method, for separating a rigid substrate from a flexible display panel, wherein the separation method comprises:

• providing a vacuum suction platform, sucking and fixing the flexible display panel to the vacuum suction platform by placing the flexible display panel toward the vacuum suction platform;
• ablating an adhesive layer between the flexible display panel and the rigid substrate by using a laser lifting-off process;
• providing a separation apparatus for the flexible display panel, fixing the separation apparatus above the rigid substrate, wherein the separation apparatus comprises a support post, a power unit and a vacuum suction block, the supporting post is used to support the separation apparatus on the relatively upper side of the rigid substrate to be separated, the vacuum suction block is in communication with the support post, and is used to suck and connect the rigid substrate to be separated, and one end of the power unit is connected to the support post, the other end is rotatably connected with the vacuum suction block;
• controlling the vacuum suction block of the separation apparatus to suck and connect to the rigid substrate, wherein a position of the vacuum suction block sucked and connected is adjacent to an edge of the rigid substrate;
• controlling the power unit of the separation apparatus to pull the vacuum suction block, to make a bonding interface of the flexible display panel and the rigid substrate separated and forming an opening portion;
• and
• controlling the power unit continually to pull the vacuum suction block, to make the opening portion extended until the rigid substrate completely lifted-off from the flexible display panel;
• wherein the vacuum suction block comprises a suction nozzle, the suction nozzle is connected to an external vacuum suction apparatus through an air pipe, the air pipe is extended in the support post.
