Abstract: A method of removing a panel from a suction surface to which the panel is held by suction includes a covering step, a removing step, and a catching step. The a covering includes covering the panel with a panel catcher including a catching surface opposed to an opposite surface that is one of plate surfaces of the panel on an opposite side from the suction surface with a gap. The removing step includes removing the panel from the suction surface by supplying a liquid between the suction surface and the panel covered with the panel catcher. The a catching step includes catching the panel removed in the removing step by attaching the panel to the catching surface.

Abstract: A test signal to be supplied to a driver section when the driver section is subjected to an operation test is generated by a test circuit. In the test circuit, the test signal can be generated by a burn-in control circuit in accordance with a clock signal TESTCK supplied from an outside source.

Abstract: The set values of the base power supply voltages are divided between 10 [V] and 0 [V], the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the drive voltage specification of a liquid crystal driver. A base power supply potential difference of 10 [V] between V1 to V2 of the base power supply terminals can be generated. By taking the gradation levels included between V1 to V2 of these base power supply terminals as test objects, each of the neighboring gradation output levels can mutually have a potential difference of about 200 [mV] (base power supply potential difference between the terminals 10000 [mV]/51 gradation levels). For the gradation levels included between these base power supply terminals, for every gradation level, test is performed while changing sequentially the input data and the setting of the judgment level of the comparator, and the gradation levels included in this interval are all tested.
