Claim 5:
6. A method for bending a flexible panel comprising a bending area and a terminal area adjacent to the bending area, the method comprising:
providing an airbag assembly, wherein the airbag assembly comprises a housing comprising at least one outlet and at least one inlet, and an elastic film wrapping a periphery of the housing, the housing runs through the elastic film, the periphery of the housing is attached to a proximal end of the elastic film near the at least one inlet and a distal end of the elastic film away from the at least one inlet to form a gas chamber between the housing and the rubber film, the at least one outlet and the at least one inlet communicate with the gas chamber, and the gas chamber is inflatable to bend the flexible panel to a required curvature;
inflating the airbag assembly;
abutting against the bending area with the airbag assembly; and
bending the flexible panel by pivoting on the airbag assembly so that a bent portion of the flexible panel tightly contacts a surface of the airbag assembly, and the terminal area is located behind the flexible panel.
