An apparatus for inspecting line defects or pixel defects in a liquid crystal display panel, the line defects are inspected for disconnection, and thus the inspection can be easily conducted by conduction or non-conduction.
[10] The pixel defect is inspected as an open defect or a short circuit defect. The pixel defect is easily inspected for a short circuit defect in an output level state of the selected pixel by sequentially selecting the image display mode of the scanning timing generator. In this case, since the signal-to-noise ratio is poor due to the stray capacitance of each pixel line, the accuracy of the determination decreases, so that the stray capacitance is completely inspected.
[11] The inspection apparatus using the optical signal inspects the uneven state of the liquid crystal display panel, and inspects the uneven display defect by acquiring the contrast of the liquid crystal display panel through the camera using a polarizer, a backlight, and a camera. Will be done.
[12] As described above, in the case of a device for inspecting whether a liquid crystal display panel is defective due to the display unevenness, when the backlight irradiates light to the liquid crystal display panel, that is, when the cathode ray tube is defective or abnormally lit or partially lowered in luminance, The display panel appears as a stained phenomenon. At this time, the inspector is inferior to the spot phenomenon appearing on the liquid crystal display panel.
[13] Of course, the appearance of the liquid crystal display panel in the form of a stain may be natural to be treated as a defect, for example, one of the plurality of cathode ray tubes, such as a defect or lighting abnormality, the luminance is not abnormal due to the lowered brightness. Nevertheless, when the stain is continuously present, the inspector treats the liquid crystal panel as a defect, thereby increasing the defect rate of the liquid crystal panel, thereby causing economic losses.
[14] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to check whether there is a problem with the backlight before checking whether there is a defect in the liquid crystal display panel, and then check whether there is a problem with the liquid crystal display panel, thereby causing a problem of the backlight. The aim is to reduce defect rates and minimize economic losses.

[22] According to the present invention configured as described above, the driving voltage is supplied from the power supply unit 100 to the inspection apparatus, and then the inspector checks whether the liquid crystal display panel is defective or not through the computer 150. When any one of the cathode ray tubes of the mounted backlight unit 120 is inspected as shown in FIG. 3 in order to check for defects, lighting abnormalities, and luminance deterioration, the microprocessor of the computer 150 sets a predetermined algorithm. By the relay unit 110 to output a drive signal for a predetermined time set arbitrarily.
[23] At this time, the computer 150 applies a driving signal to all of the relays RY1 to RY59 of the relay unit 110 by a predetermined algorithm, or sequentially drives them.
[24] Accordingly, the relays RY1 to RY59 of the relay unit 110 all or sequentially turn on the relay contacts to apply the driving voltage applied from the power supply unit 100 to the cathode ray tube of the backlight unit 120. Or it turns on sequentially.
[25] As described above, in the process of turning on the cathode ray tube of the backlight unit 120, the photoconductive cell of the illuminance detector 130 mounted at both sides of the backlight unit 120 detects the optical signal of the illuminated cathode ray tube. Done.
