Abstract
A display panel inspection socket has a socket body for holding a display panel having electrode terminals arranged on at least one side of the surface of an insulating base plate. Contacts are formed on contact films attached to the socket body. An elastic supporting member extends along a direction of arrangement of the electrode terminals and supporting the back surfaces of the contact films is attached to the socket body. A clip member is attached on the side of the socket body so as to grip the socket body and the insulating base plate of the display panel. When the clip member is moved from a releasing position to a pressing position, the back surface of the insulating base plate of the display panel is pressed by the clip member. This moves the electrode terminals of the display panel and the contacts on the contact films are electrically connected under a required contact pressure.
