## Abstract

A method and device for attaching a display cover are provided. In an attaching method, a display panel is fixed to a sealing mechanism, and a cover is fixed to a bottom of an accommodating cavity of a housing. By filling a sealed space of the sealing mechanism with a pressurized gas, while a stretching mechanism pushes the display panel to deform, the display panel and the cover are bonded together under an action of the stretching mechanism and the pressurized gas. This alleviates an issue of a limited molding process in realization of three-dimensional curved surface of current flexible OLED and flexible micro-LED displays.

## Claims
