摘要:
After source lines have been grouped into a plurality of blocks including adjacent ones of the source lines, in a region outside a display region, at least one inspection bus line for inputting an inspection signal to pixels is formed in association with each of the blocks, and the source lines in each of the blocks are connected to the associated inspection bus line, thereby forming an inspection circuit including the inspection bus lines. Then, an inspection signal is supplied to the pixels from the inspection bus line through the source lines in each of the blocks in the inspection circuit, and a target pixel is compared with a plurality of comparative pixels arranged along one of the source lines along which the target pixel is located, with a gray-level display provided on the display region, thereby detecting a presence of a black point defect in the target pixel.
