1. A laminating device for laminating a flexible panel and a curved cover plate, wherein the curved cover plate has a central area and an edge bending area located in a first direction of the central area, comprising:
a movable mechanism, wherein the movable mechanism is arranged opposite the curved cover plate in a second direction and comprises:
a first movable base table;
a second movable base table arranged opposite the first movable base table in the first direction; and
an elastic supporting member having an elastic supporting portion, wherein the elastic supporting portion covers on parts of the first movable base table and the second movable base table that are close to the curved cover plate, and is used for fixing the flexible panel, wherein:
the movable mechanism is adapted to move in a direction close to the curved cover plate, such that the flexible panel is laminated to the central area; and
the first movable base table and the second movable base table are adapted to move in the first direction in directions away from each other, such that the flexible panel is laminated to the edge bending area;
a carrier film comprising a laminating portion for laminating with the flexible panel and connecting portions located at opposite two sides of the laminating portion in the first direction, the laminating portion being supported on the elastic supporting portion; and
a clamping adjustment mechanism connected with the connecting portion and adapted to apply a clamping force to the connecting portion, such that the laminating portion is laminated to the elastic supporting portion;
wherein, when the first movable base table and the second movable base table move in the first direction in directions away from each other, the clamping adjustment mechanism is adapted to reduce the clamping force applied to the connecting portion,
wherein an adhesive layer for adhering to the flexible panel is provided on the laminating portion, and
wherein the first movable base table and the second movable base table comprise a supporting table covered with the elastic supporting portion and a fixing table located on the supporting table away from the elastic supporting portion, surfaces of the supporting table of the first movable base table and the supporting table of the second movable base table facing each other are provided with a sawtooth structure and engage with each other.
