Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a test tool, a test method, and a method for changing the reliability of a cover, and more particularly to a & Test tools, test methods, and ways to improve reliability. [Previous technology] In recent years, with the maturity of optoelectronic technology and semiconductor manufacturing technology, the flat panel display (Flat Panel Display) has flourished. Among them, the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is based on its low voltage operation and no radiation. The advantages of scattering, light weight, and small size have gradually replaced traditional cathode ray tube displays and become the mainstream of display products in recent years. The liquid crystal display mainly includes a liquid crystal display panel (LCD panel) and a backlight module. The liquid crystal display panel is composed of a color filter substrate (Color Filter, CF), an active element array substrate, and two components. A liquid crystal layer is formed between the substrates, and the backlight module is used to provide a surface light source required by the liquid crystal display panel, so that the liquid crystal display achieves a display effect. In addition, in order to maintain the distance between the color filter substrate and the active element array substrate after the liquid crystal display panel is assembled, it is common practice to arrange a plurality of spacers between the color filter substrate and the active element array substrate. Please refer to FIG. 1, which illustrates a conventional structure of a liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel 100 is mainly composed of a color filter substrate 110, a thin film transistor array substrate (TFT array) 120, a liquid crystal layer 30, and a frame adhesive (丨 _) 14 〇 and a plurality of interspaces T24389l ^ 26twf.doc / c 150. Among them, the sealant 140 is located at the periphery of the color filter, optical substrate and thin film transistor array substrate 120, and connects the color filter substrate 110 and the thin film transistor array substrate 120. The liquid crystal layer 130 is filled in the color filter substrate 110, In the space surrounded by the thin film transistor array substrate 120 and the frame adhesive 140. In addition, the spacer 150 is disposed between the color filter substrate 110 and the film transistor array substrate 120 so that the color filter substrate 110 and the thin film transistor array substrate 120 maintain a fixed distance. It is worth mentioning that when manufacturing liquid crystal displays, factors such as excessive load applied during the manufacturing process, insufficient strength of the liquid crystal display panel element materials (such as glass substrates or spacers), or process errors, are known. As a result, an ideal gap cannot be maintained between the color filter substrate and the thin film transistor array substrate. In this way, the boundary conditions of the liquid crystal layer will be changed, which will affect the normal operation of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer. As a result, an abnormal black image will appear in some areas of the liquid crystal display panel compared with the area where the normal gap has not been changed. In view of this, it is common practice to test the LCD panel at the end of the process = line = light test (Light Test), that is, to power the LCD panel and drive it at a specific frequency to observe the liquid crystal. The display panel is abnormally dark. However, this detection method can only judge whether the liquid crystal display is good or bad, but it cannot know the tolerance of the liquid crystal display panel itself to _, so as to provide a reference basis for the above-mentioned "abnormal black image". In addition, even if the above lighting test is passed, == no panel assembly and back wire assembly or finished product transportation may occur due to external forces, and 4 black images may occur at the shipping end or the client. It is the 1245 89l026twf.d〇c / c problem that cannot be avoided by the conventional detection method.
