[Prior Art] As an information display device that replaces a liquid crystal display device (LCD), there are known two kinds of information display devices: an information display device that drives a charged particle method (electrophoresis method) in a liquid, and a gas. An information display device that drives a charged particle method (for example, an electronic powder fluid method). As a display panel to which the information display device of the charged particle driving method is applied, there is known a panel for information display in which at least two are sealed in a space between two opposing substrates (at least one of which is a transparent substrate). A display medium comprising at least one type of particles and having an optical reflectance and a charge 'H, and an apparent electric field is applied to the display enamel to move the display medium from the (four) ten image material information (for example, Patent Document 1). As a method of manufacturing the above-described information display panel, a method has been proposed in which the electrode on one of the two mother substrates having the electrodes facing each other is equipotentially filled. The staff member sets the second base, and the dense mother=(4) the mother substrate is used to make a plurality of information display surfaces and soils. The two mother substrates are bonded together. The four mother boards are called the mother side 201137486. Gongxia, a factory of the Knife Factory, has a low contrast ratio and poor display quality. In order to eliminate the above problem, the activation method is proposed as follows: the mother panel (4) (10) in which the material is produced in at least 1 f is provided with each conductive member (electrode) having a polarity reversed in the conductive member (electrode) At the same time, a voltage is applied to move the display medium (for example, Patent: 3, Patent Document 4). Patent Document 1: International Publication No. 2003/050606 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. 2008-112155 Patent Document No. JP-A-2008-112155 Patent Document 4: JP-A-2008-224738 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above-described Patent Documents 3 and 4, as shown in FIG. 1, the information display panel is activated by sealing a space between two substrates in which at least one of the substrates is transparent and facing each other. At least one or more display mediums connect the electrodes provided on the respective substrates to the crocodile nozzle clip, and move the display medium by an electric field generated by applying a voltage to display information such as an image. In the drawings, the symbol 1 indicates a substrate, 1a is an upper substrate electrode portion, lb is a lower substrate electrode portion, and 2 is a crocodile nozzle holder, and 3 is an activated power source. However, when the connecting device is a crocodile mouth clip, in the case where the electrode portion is narrow, a stable voltage may not be applied due to insufficient connection, and the expected activation cannot be performed due to 201137486. In addition, there is a case where the connection is unstable and falls off, and the voltage is still applied without knowing the falling off. In this case, the panel for information display cannot be fully activated. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and it is an object of the invention to provide an activation device for an information display panel which can be stably connected to an electrode provided on a substrate, and can reliably activate the information display panel. Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a conduction inspection method for confirming whether or not an activation electrode and a substrate electrode are connected by performing a conduction test at least two times before activation and after activation by the above-described activation device. That is, the key structure of the present invention is as follows. According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided an activation device for an information display panel, comprising: an activation power source for activating an information display panel; and a signal input/output device for administering a substrate to the information display panel The output and input of the communication number of the electrode portion; the probe energizing portion includes a plurality of contact probes for energizing the substrate electrode portion; and two relays for performing the probe energizing portion and the activation The power source or the connection with the signal input/output device is switched; and the control device is responsible for switching the relay. According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided an apparatus for activating an information display panel according to the first aspect of the invention, wherein a board of 201137486 is disposed on a side opposite to a substrate of the probe energizing portion, and a lifting device is energized on the probes. And a third invention is provided at at least one of the portion and the support plate: or the second method, the method of the second method: the second part of the 'the 5th root contact point of the detection side ^: electric = touch: the needle and the substrate electrode = Before the == Ι, the relay is switched to energize the probe energizing portion to the second and second output devices to confirm the conduction between the output side probe and the input side probe. According to a fourth aspect of the invention, in the conduction inspection method of the third aspect of the invention, after the energization by the activation power source is completed, the relay is switched again to connect the probe energizing portion to the signal input/output device to be energized. The conduction between the output side probe and the input side probe is confirmed again. According to the present invention, since the activation electrode and the substrate electrode portion can be stably connected, the activation of the information display panel can be reliably performed. Further, according to the present invention, the energization for activation is performed after confirming the conduction state between the substrate electrode portion and the probe energizing portion, whereby the product quality can be stabilized. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described. Fig. 2 schematically shows a preferred example of an activation device for a panel for information display according to the present invention. In the figure, the same as Fig. 1 described above: 1 is the substrate 'la is the upper side base 201137486 plate electrode part, lb is the lower side substrate electrode part, and 3 is an activation power source.

In addition, in the example of the figure, the probe energizing portion 7a is displayed. The four contacts are in the case of the probe 10, but the contact probe 10 may be provided at least. J. Normally, the relays 6a and 6b are connected to the relays 6a and 6b by the control device 5. The activation power supply 3 is connected to the probe energizing portions 7a and 7b, and the substrate is turned on by the energization portions 7a and 7b! Power up to activate the information display panel. In this case, in the present invention, the support plates % and 讣 are provided on the opposite sides of the substrate on the side where the probe energizing portions 7a and 7b are disposed, and the probe energizing portions 7a and 7b and the supporting plates 8a and 8b are provided. The lifting device 9 provided on at least one of the ones causes the probe energizing portion and the support plate to sandwich the substrate electrode. Therefore, the probe 1〇 is surely brought into contact with the substrate electrode portion. Further, in the present invention, the relays 6a and 6b are switched before the activation processing, and the signal input/output device 4 is connected to the probe energizing portions 7a and 7b to confirm the probe energizing portion % and the upper side of the probe.

Therefore, in the present probe energizing sections 7a and 7b, the plurality of contact probes 10 are divided into an output side probe and an input side probe to confirm conduction between the two. 201137486 Fig. 3 - Mountain ^ Electric part: The conduction check circuit is recognized, and the probe is shown in this example. 〖The side eucalyptus needle 10a and the input side probe 10b contact the relay 通电 6a (4) on the power supply side of the hybrid power supply 1 to block the connection of the probe output to the second original I. In addition, the probe is energized by Qiu 7(10)Γ Both the input side and the wheel-out side are closed, and the power, the == pin 1〇a and the input side probe 1〇b are operated overnight to ensure that there is a difference between the output side probe 10a and the input side probe (10). After the conduction, the relays 6a and 6b are switched, and the ten and the pin energizing portions 7a and 7b are connected to each other, and then energized and activated. It is preferable to use the same conduction check after the completion of the activation process, after the completion of the activation process, the person switching the relay and the servo input/output device and the probe energizing portion. It is confirmed that there is incomplete conduction in the activation treatment, and the quality of the product is finally confirmed from *. In Fig. 4, a summary of the continuity check according to the present invention is shown by a flowchart. — = As shown in the figure, first, the contact probe is brought into contact with the substrate electrode portion to conduct a conduction check.
