Bonding device for flexible panel and method for bonding flexible panel

A bonding device for a flexible panel comprising:

• a transport element, a vacuum chamber, a cover jig, and a bonding jig;
• wherein the transport element is configured to move the flexible panel into the vacuum chamber or move the flexible panel out of the vacuum chamber;
• wherein both the cover jig and the bonding jig are disposed in the vacuum chamber, the cover jig is opposite to the bonding jig, and the cover jig is configured to secure thereon a cover plate to be bonded;
• wherein the film comprises a viscous area configured to adhere thereon the flexible panel;
• wherein the film comprises a non-viscous area disposed on a side of the viscous area, and the bonding device comprises a fixture disposed on the non-viscous area to stretch the film;
• and
• wherein the bonding jig has a curved hump protruding toward the cover jig, and the hump is configured to raise the flexible panel up to the cover plate to bond the cover plate with the flexible panel when the transport element transports the flexible panel to a location below the cover plate;
• wherein the transport element comprises a film configured to bond thereon the flexible panel and a transport part, and the film is configured as a continuous loop and is rotated via the transport part to move the flexible panel into the vacuum chamber.

A method for bonding a flexible panel, wherein the method comprises following steps:

• putting a cover plate on a cover jig, and securing the cover plate on the cover jig;
• pasting the flexible panel on a film of a transport element, and removing a protection film on a surface of the flexible panel therefrom, wherein the film is configured as a continuous loop;
• wherein the film comprises a viscous area configured to adhere thereon the flexible panel;
• wherein the film comprises a non-viscous area disposed on a side of the viscous area, and the bonding device comprises a fixture disposed on the non-viscous area to stretch the film;
• moving the flexible panel into a vacuum chamber by rotating the film via a transport part of the transport element;
• stretching an area of the film where the flexible panel disposed, making the flexible panel be suspended in the vacuum chamber;
• pumping air out of the vacuum chamber;
• raising the flexible panel up to the cover plate by a hump of the bonding jig to bond the cover plate with the flexible panel.
