The moving probe unit 13G is electrically connected to or not connected to the display panel 10 by this movement. Said-St has such a detection device for moving probe unit 130 to describe a continuous detection process. As shown! As described in the above, when the mobile probe 130 performs illumination detection or the like in the first detection position A, the worker replaces the display panel in the second table 12〇b of the :: position B, and completes the detection at the detection position A. The operating mobile probe single illusion panel: the second detection position B of the replacement. Then, when it is right, the worker allows the display panel 1 to perform the illumination detection, and the person replaces the 1328121 21473pif.doc display panel 10 at the first work station of the first detection position A. That is, the probe unit is moved to successively detect the display panels placed in the first and second stages. In more detail, the detection of the display panel is performed on either of the first and second stages, and the probe unit is then moved to another stage to detect the display panel (see Fig. 4). As described above, according to the detecting apparatus 1 of the present invention, when the illumination detection is performed, the moving probe unit 130 having the probe block 134 is moved to the first and second detecting positions A and B, and the probe block 134 has the electric power. Connected to the detection head of the display panel ίο. Therefore, the detecting apparatus 100 of the present invention can significantly reduce the occupied space as compared with the method of moving the stages 120 & and 12 〇b. Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are views showing the configuration of a lighting horn controller of the apparatus for detecting a display panel of the present invention. The apparatus for detecting the display panel 同时 simultaneously detects twelve bar-type display panels 10 formed of three unit display panels 10a (a total of 36 unit display panels) connected to each other. To achieve this, as illustrated in Fig. 5, the detecting device 1 of the present invention includes an illumination signal controller 140 for inputting an illumination signal to each of the display panels 1A. The illumination signal controller 140 includes an illumination signal generator 142 and a signal distributor 144. The illumination signal generator 142 generates an illumination signal corresponding to the image such that the image is formed on the display panel 10 when light emitted from the backlight (not shown) penetrates the display panel 1 . The signal distributor 144 distributes the illumination signal generated by the root recording signal generator 142 to each of the two probes 134. Here, the illumination signal generator 142 can simultaneously generate a preview game at the data end of the display panel 10 connected to the detection head of the probe block 134.
