Lamination apparatus and method for manufacturing display device

A method for manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

• fixing a window to a jig which has an accommodation groove;
• fixing a display panel to a clamp, the display panel comprising a first portion having a first width parallel to a first direction and a second portion having a second width less than the first width and parallel to the first direction;
• and
• pressing the first portion of the display panel toward the window by using a pad which comprises a pressing surface, a first pad side surface bent from the pressing surface in a direction away from the jig, a second pad side surface bent from the pressing surface in a direction away from the jig, and a recess recessed from the pressing surface and the first pad side surface,
• wherein the display panel is aligned so that the recess of the pad is adjacent to a boundary between the first portion and the second portion.

A lamination apparatus comprising:

• a jig comprising an accommodation groove which is defined by a bottom surface and first, second, third, and fourth side surfaces that are bent and extend from the bottom surface;
• and
• a pad comprising a pressing surface, which faces the bottom surface, and first, second, third, and fourth pad side surfaces that extend from the pressing surface,
• wherein a recess is defined in a portion in which the first pad side surface and the pressing surface of the pad meet each other, and the first pad side surface has a predetermined curvature.
