  • Patent number: 11101452
    Abstract: Provided are a packaging device and a display panel packaging method. The device includes: a guide line, a container for containing a package adhesive, a rotary worktable for placing a to-be-packaged device and a winding device for driving the guide line to move. The guide line is mounted on the winding device, and part of the guide line is immerged into the package adhesive so the guide line adhered by the package adhesive passes through the rotary worktable when moving. The to-be-packaged display device is disposed on rotary worktable, thus the guide line contacts with the frit. When the rotary worktable rotates, the guide line moves and passes through the container containing package adhesive. When part of the guide line adhered by package adhesive passes through the rotary worktable, the package adhesive is coated on the frit, thereby achieving uniform coating of the package adhesive under surface tension of frit.
