Abstract
A visual inspection apparatus includes a plurality of cameras for photographing a display panel and a processor for processing the photographed image. Specifically, the visual inspection apparatus includes: a work table having a panel mounting unit on which a display panel is mounted; a camera module which is disposed in a direction normal to the panel mounting unit and which has a plurality of cameras arranged in a matrix; and a processor for processing the images of the display panel photographed with the cameras. The plurality of cameras is arranged in a matrix with variable distances between the cameras. Since the visual inspection apparatus includes the cameras arranged in a matrix, it can be used to effectively detect a variety of defects.
