Abstract: Provided is a method of inspecting pixels. The method includes the step of applying a switching signal to gate electrodes of inspection transistors and the step of applying an inspection data signal to one or more of source electrodes of the inspection transistors. A voltage applied to the gate electrodes is controlled under the switching signal and the inspection data signal.
