1. A bonding device, comprising:
a stage; and
a pressing part placed on the stage and which is movable toward the stage,
wherein a first layer, which is disposed on an upper surface of the stage, includes a first flat portion and first bending portions, which are curvedly extended from opposite side portions of the first flat portion, respectively,
a second layer, which is disposed below a lower surface of the pressing part to face the first layer, includes a second flat portion and second bending portions, which are curvedly extended from opposite side portions of the second flat portion, respectively,
the first and second bending portions are disposed between the stage and the pressing part, in a state bent with curvatures, respectively,
and the curvature of a lower surface of each of the second bending portions is smaller than the curvature of an upper surface of each of the first bending portions,
wherein an upper surface of the stage facing the pressing part comprises:
a first plane; and
first curved surfaces, which are extended from opposite side portions of the first plane in outward and downward directions and have a convexly curved shape,
wherein the first flat portion is disposed on the first plane,
the first bending portions are disposed on the first curved surfaces, respectively, and
the first curved surfaces and the first bending portions have a same curvature,
wherein the pressing part comprises a recessed portion facing the upper surface of the stage,
the recessed portion comprises:
a second plane facing the first plane; and
second curved surfaces, which are provided to face the first curved surfaces and are extended downward from opposite side portions of the second plane to have a concavely curved shape,
the second flat portion is disposed below the second plane, and
the second bending portions are disposed below the second curved surfaces,
wherein an air injection hole, which is recessed from an outer surface of the pressing part toward the second curved surfaces, is defined in the pressing part, and
the second curved surfaces are expanded toward the first bending portions by air injected into the air injection hole, after the second flat portion is bonded to the first flat portion by the pressing part, which moves in the downward direction.
