Laminating device and laminating method

A laminating method for laminating a flexible panel and a curved cover plate, comprising:

• providing the flexible panel and the curved cover plate, wherein the curved cover plate has a central area and an edge bending area located in a first direction of the central area;
• providing a laminating device, wherein the laminating device comprises a movable mechanism, the movable mechanism is arranged opposite the curved cover plate in a second direction and comprises:
• a first movable base table;
• a second movable base table arranged opposite the first movable base table in the first direction;
• an elastic supporting member having an elastic supporting portion, wherein the elastic supporting portion covers on parts of the first movable base table and the second movable base table that are close to the curved cover plate, and is used for fixing the flexible panel, wherein the movable mechanism is adapted to move in a direction close to the curved cover plate such that the flexible panel is laminated to the central area;
• the first movable base table and the second movable base table are adapted to move in the first direction in directions away from each other such that the flexible panel is laminated to the edge bending area;
• fixing the curved cover plate;
• arranging the movable mechanism opposite to the curved cover plate;
• fixing the flexible panel on the elastic supporting portion;
• driving the movable mechanism to move in a direction close to the curved cover plate, such that the flexible panel is laminated with the central area;
• and
• after the flexible panel is laminated with the central area, driving the first movable base table and the second movable base table to move in the first direction in directions away from each other such that the flexible panel is laminated with the edge bending area,
• wherein, when applied to the laminating device, the laminating device further comprises a carrier film and a clamping adjustment mechanism, the carrier film comprising a laminating portion for laminating with the flexible panel and connecting portions located at opposite two sides of the laminating portion in the first direction, and the laminating portion being supported on the elastic supporting portion, and an adhesive layer for adhering to the flexible panel is provided on the laminating portion;
• wherein the clamping adjustment mechanism is connected with the connecting portion and adapted to apply a clamping force to the connecting portion, such that the laminating portion is laminated to the elastic supporting portion;
• wherein, when the first movable base table and the second movable base table move in the first direction in directions away from each other, the clamping adjustment mechanism is adapted to reduce the clamping force applied to the connecting portion and, when the first movable base table and the second movable base table are driven to move in the first direction in directions away from each other, a clamping force applied on the connecting portion is reduced by the clamping adjustment mechanism, wherein the first movable base table and the second movable base table comprise a supporting table covered with the elastic supporting portion and a fixing table located on the supporting table away from the elastic supporting portion, surfaces of the supporting table of the first movable base table and the supporting table of the second movable base table facing each other are provided with a sawtooth structure and engage with each other.
