Abstract: For inspecting a display module an inspection device is provided. There is a first connection having inputs for providing electric power and various signals needed to drive a display device. The display module can be mounted on the inspection device. There is a power supply for generating the electric power, a control circuit for generating the various signals, and a second connector having outputs of the power supply and the control circuit. When the display module is mounted on the inspection device, the first and second connectors are connected together, so the power supply and the control circuit can be electrically connected to the display module.

Abstract: An inspection apparatus 19 for inspecting a display module 1 having, in an outer edge portion thereof, a first connector 10 having input terminals 12 for inputting electric power and various signals needed to drive a display device 2 has a stage 20 on which the display module 1 is mounted, a power supply 22 for generating the electric power, a control circuit 23 for generating the various signals, and a second connector 26 having output terminals 28 of the power supply 22 and the control circuit 23. When the display module 1 is mounted on the stage 20, the first and second connectors 10 and 26 are connected together, causing the power supply 22 and the control circuit 23 to be electrically connected to the display module 1.
