1. An attaching apparatus for attachment of a display device, wherein the display device comprises:
a flexible touch display substrate, comprising at least two installation areas arranged at intervals in a first direction and a bending area located between adjacent installation areas, wherein a back of each installation area is provided with an adhesive layer; and
a plurality of rigid structural members, each comprising a body part and an installation protrusion formed on the body part and protruding in a direction away from the flexible touch display substrate, wherein at least one of the plurality of rigid structural members is installed on the adhesive layer of the installation area
wherein the attaching apparatus comprises:
an auxiliary attaching structure, comprising a protective film layer and a support part, wherein the protective film layer has a first side and a second side opposite in a thickness direction of the protective film layer, and the thickness direction is orthogonal to the first direction; and
a pressing jig, disposed on the second side of the protective film layer;
wherein the protection film layer comprises at least two first areas arranged at intervals in the first direction and a second area located between adjacent first areas;
each first area is used for corresponding to one installation area, the first side of the first area is used for attaching to a body part of a rigid structural member on the installation area corresponding to the first area, and a position on the first area corresponding to the installation protrusion is opened with an avoidance through hole or an avoidance groove;
the second area is used for corresponding to the bending area, the support part is disposed on the first side of the second area, and the support part is used for contacting with the bending area when the first side of the first area is attached to the body part of the rigid structural member corresponding to the first area; and
the pressing jig is used for applying a pressure to the protective film layer after the first side of the first area is attached to the body part of the rigid structural member corresponding to the first area, so that the rigid structural member is attached to the installation area through the adhesive layer.
