1. A test system comprising:
- a rotatable turntable including a plurality of stages;
a loading section loading a display panel assembly onto the stages, the loading section recognizing a unique number of the display panel assembly;
a first image pickup section picking up first and second active area image displayed on the display panel assembly, the first image pickup section obtaining first and second active area image data from the first and second active area images;
a second image pickup section picking up an inactive area image displayed on the display panel assembly, the second image pickup section obtaining an inactive area image data from the inactive area image;
a system control section detecting a valid first active area defect by comparing the first and second active area image data with each other, the system control section detecting an inactive area defect by comparing the inactive area image data with a reference inactive area image data; and
an unloading section unloading the display panel assembly from the stage.

Abstract
A test system includes a rotatable turntable, a loading section, a first image pickup section, a second image pickup section, a system control section and an unloading section. The loading section loads a display panel assembly onto the stage. The loading section recognizes a unique number of the display panel assembly. The first image pickup section obtains an active area image data from an active area image. A valid first active area defect is detected using an active area image data obtained from an active area image displayed on the display panel assembly. An inactive area defect is detected based on an inactive area image data and a reference inactive area image data.
