The probe assembly 14 is mounted on the lower side of the probe card 20. The probe assembly 14 is configured to include a probe block 22 and a probe 23 as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 . The probe block 22 is directly mounted on the lower side of the probe card 20. On the lower side of the probe block 22, a probe 23 is mounted. The probe 23 is a member that is in direct contact with the liquid crystal panel 5 circuit -5-200907357. The probe 23 has a needle portion 23A having a needle portion 23A 'UB' at its distal end portion and a proximal end portion, and a circuit portion that contacts the liquid crystal panel 5, and a needle portion 2 3B at the proximal end portion is a contact connection cable portion. The terminal 3 of the 5 is connected to the electric continuation unit 15 as a member for electrically connecting the probe 2 and an external device (not shown). The connection cable portion 15 is specifically a circuit directly connected to the needle portion 2 3 B of the probe 23 and the probe card 1 2 side, and is formed by a circuit that passes through the probe card 1 2 side and an external device. Electricity. That is, the connecting cable portion 15 is a printed circuit board 26 that is transmitted through the probe card 12 to electrically connect the probe 2 3 of the probe assembly 14 to an external device. The connection cable portion 15 is composed of an FPC board 27, a drive integrated circuit 28, and an FPC cable 29 as shown in Figs. 6 to 8 . The FPC board 27 is a fixing member that can fix the connecting cable portion 15 to the probe assembly 14 side. The FPC board 27 is mounted on the lower side of the probe card 20. The driving integrated circuit 28 is a circuit that performs processing accompanying the inspection. The drive integrated circuit 28 is mounted on the lower side of the FPC board 27. One of the drive integrated circuits 28 is connected to the FPC cable 29. The other of the driving integrated circuits 28 is connected to each terminal 31 through each wiring 30.

In the electrical state, the other side is connected to the printed circuit board 26 provided on the probe base. Thereby, the FPC cable 29 is shielded from the circuit board 26 to be electrically connected to the external device. [Explanation] The above-mentioned inspection apparatus is designed to increase the speed of the TFT drive in terms of the countermeasure against the display of the liquid crystal panel 5 during the lighting inspection. For example, it is speeding up to 120~180Hz. However, when the speed is increased to 1 2 0 to 1 0 0 Η z, the signal from the integrated circuit board 28 for driving the printed circuit board 26 is susceptible to noise interference. When electromagnetic waves are generated by the clutter, the FPC motor 29 picks up the magnetic wave, which causes a poor transmission (error: error), and the influence of the lighting on the liquid crystal panel 5 causes the inspection accuracy to decrease. . The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a probe unit capable of minimizing the influence of noise and a means for solving the problem. The unit includes: a probe assembly that transmits a check signal to a circuit electrode provided on a surface of the inspection target board; and a printed board that passes through the probe base to form a connection connection between the probe assembly and the external device The driving is to take more than 200907357 parts of the touch cable, and the above-mentioned probe is assembled with the volume body circuit; and the driving integrated body is the FPC cable package. According to the above-mentioned probe set, the signal transmitted to the driving circuit is difficult to be subjected to the clutter, and when it is set to 1 ο Ω to be set according to the above-mentioned resistance, the cable is sent to the above-mentioned probe. All: an external board setting portion; a cable portion supported by: an FPC board that can connect the cable portion side; and an FPC circuit that performs the accompanying inspection process to transmit the electric signal supplied to the inspection is installed in the above-mentioned probe The printing of the needle base is connectable to the driving integrated circuit and the upper structure, and the inspection signal detected by the contact target board assembly can be transmitted through the integrated circuit, and the FPC can be driven from the FPC. The cable is sent to the above probe assembly and other interference effects. It is preferable that the probe assembly is electrically connected to the FPC cable. In the configuration of the probe assembly to the FPC of 1 〇Ω or less, it is difficult to receive the signal transmitted through the FPC cable to the driving integrated circuit through the upper needle assembly. In the inspection device for dry use such as a clutter, the inspection target plate to which the probe unit is inserted is moved after the inspection is completed, and the measurement portion that can be used for the test from the plate installation portion is carried. [Effect of the Invention] The drive cable fixed to the upper circuit board, the upper circuit board, and the probe group circuit electrode FPC cable are used as the integrated body. Therefore, it is preferable that the resistance of the cable is the influence of the FPC disturbance. It is preferable to provide an external inspection target plate-8-200907357 As described above, since the probe unit and the inspection device of the present invention are hardly affected by interference such as clutter, it is possible to maintain the inspection accuracy regardless of the speed of the FT drive.

The FPC board 27 is mounted on the lower side of the probe card 20. The driving integrated circuit 43 is a circuit that performs processing accompanying the inspection. The drive integrated circuit 43 is different from the above-described conventional probe unit 11 and is a printed circuit board 26 attached to the probe base 12. One of the drive integrated circuits 43 is directly connected to the printed circuit board 26. The other of the drive integrated circuits 43 is connected to the connector 46 through the respective wires 45. Next, the FPC cable 47 is connected to the connector 46. The FPC cable 47 is directly attached to the FPC board 27, and a terminal 31 is provided at the front end of the FPC cable 47. The electric resistance from the needle portion 2 3 a on the distal end side of the probe 2 3 of the probe assembly 14 to the connector 46 of the FPC cable 47 is set to 1 〇 Ω or less. In the probe unit and the inspection apparatus manufactured by the applicant, the resistance of the probe portion 23 of the probe assembly 14 from the distal end side of the probe 2 3 to the connector 46 of the FPC cable 47 is applied. When the setting is below 1 〇Ω, the best result is -10 - 200907357. Therefore, the resistance of the probe assembly 23 on the distal end side of the probe assembly 23 on the probe 23 side of the drive integrated circuit 43 to the connector 46 of the FPC 47 is set to 10 Ω or less. The probe unit 41 configured as described above and the probe unit z using the probe unit have the following effects. The electric probes formed on the surface of the liquid crystal panel 5, which is the inspection target plate, are brought into contact with the probe assembly 14 to pass the inspection signal from the side of the assembly circuit 43 to the surface of the liquid crystal 5 through the FPC cable 47. To perform the lighting check. Further, the needle portion 23A on the distal end side of the inspection signal detected by the probe assembly I4 is transmitted to the cable 47 through the needle portion 23B on the proximal end side, and is transmitted to the driving assembly 4 through the FPC cable 47. 3. Then, the signal from the above-described driving integrated circuit 43 is transmitted to the external device via the printed circuit board 26 of the probe base 12. As a result, the signal transmitted by the F P C cable 47 is difficult to be affected by interference such as clutter. In particular, since the resistance of 23A of the distal end side of the probe 23 of the probe assembly 14 to the connector 46 of the FPC cable 47 is set to be lower, the inspection detected by the probe assembly 14 is transmitted. When the FPC cable 47 is sent to the drive integrated circuit 43, the signal from the drive integrated circuit 43 is sent to the probe assembly 14 through the cable 47, and is hardly affected by the noise. . As a result, the speed can be maintained at a high level regardless of the speed of the T F T drive. The driving panel of the above-mentioned cable " is a 10 Ω signal from the FPC circuit, and is inspected by the FPC, etc. - 200907357 [Modification] The probe unit 4 1 of the above embodiment is provided. The inspection apparatus is not limited to the above-described conventional inspection apparatus, and any invention can be applied as long as it is equipped with all of the inspection units 41.
