DEVICE FOR INSPECTING DISPLAY DEVICE AND INSPECTING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A device for inspecting a display device, the device comprising:
- a camera to photograph a substrate and generate image information;
a pixel value setter to set pixel values corresponding to respective luminances of a plurality of pixels from the image information, and to detect a crack region based on the pixel values;
a stress calculator to calculate a critical stress of a crack included in the crack region; and
a determiner to check whether the critical stress is equal to or greater than a first threshold value and to determine whether the substrate has defects,wherein;
the stress calculator calculates a critical stress of the substrate by using fracture toughness, a shape factor, and a crack depth, andthe shape factor is set to increase as a compressive stress of the substrate increases.

Abstract
A device for inspecting a display device includes a camera to photograph a substrate and generate image information, a pixel value setter to set pixel values corresponding to respective luminances of a plurality of pixels from the image information, and to detect a crack region based on the pixel values, a stress calculator to calculate a critical stress of a crack included in the crack region, and a determiner to check whether the critical stress is equal to or greater than a first threshold value and to determine whether the substrate has defects. The stress calculator calculates a critical stress of the substrate by using fracture toughness, a shape factor, and a crack depth. The shape factor is set to increase as a compressive stress of the substrate increases.

11. A method for inspecting a display device, the method comprising:
-
photographing a substrate to generate image information; setting pixel values corresponding to respective luminances of a plurality of pixels in the image information; detecting a crack region based on the pixel values, and detecting a crack length for the crack region to continue in one direction; determining a crack depth corresponding to the crack length; calculating a critical stress of the substrate based on the crack depth; and checking whether the critical stress is equal to or greater than a first threshold value to determine whether the substrate has defects. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
