The present disclosure discloses a carrying platform for carrying a mask plate. The carrying platform includes a body and a first securing structure disposed on the body. The first securing structure is to engage with a second securing structure of the mask plate. The first securing structure includes supporting rods disposed on the body, and the supporting rods are to be in contact with an edge region of the mask plate. An engagement between the first securing structure and the second securing structure enables the mask plate to be switched between a first state and a second state in such a manner that in the first state, the mask plate is in contact with a first supporting rod of the supporting rods and rotates about an axis of the first supporting rod in the horizontal plane, and in the second state, the mask plate is in contact with at least two of the supporting rods and is fixed relative to the carrying platform.
