Abstract
A bonding device includes a first panel support, a second panel support disposed below the first panel support, a diaphragm disposed on and extending along the first panel support, the diaphragm being disposed between the first panel support and the second panel support, and a window fixing chuck disposed on the diaphragm, the window fixing chuck including a groove facing the diaphragm. A through-hole extends from the second panel support to the first panel support, and the diaphragm is disposed on the through-hole.
Claims5
A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:
- disposing a display panel on a diaphragm that overlaps an upper portion of a panel support and side surfaces of the panel support;
- disposing a window in a groove of a window fixing chuck, the window fixing chuck being disposed above the diaphragm;
- disposing the panel support and the diaphragm in the groove of the window fixing chuck;
- bonding a first bent portion of the display panel disposed on the diaphragm to a second bent portion of the window adjacent to the first bent portion of the display panel by expanding the diaphragm;
- and
- bonding first flat portions of the display panel disposed on the side surfaces of the panel support to second flat portions of the window adjacent to the first flat portions of the display panel by moving the expanded diaphragm along the groove of the window fixing chuck, such that the expanded diaphragm is spaced apart from the first bent portion of the display panel, wherein the moving of the expanded diaphragm presses the first flat portions of the display panel and the second flat portions of the window to form a bond.
