The present invention discloses an inspection apparatus and method of electrode patterns using roiling wire probes. It includes rolling wire probes, at least one or more, having a rolling wire rotating to be performed a rolling contact sliplessly across the electrode patterns; a control unit for controlling operations of the inspection apparatus wholly and discriminating the electrical characteristics according to the electrical signal sensed through the rolling wire provided to the rolling wire probe. According to the present invention, there is an advantage that the inspection method can be used flexibly up to electrode patterns having various forms regardless of the change of model or design of the product, unlike the inspection method of the conventional art by the test pin block. In the present invention, an advantage, which when inspecting a scratch also does not generated in the pixel portion, thereby increasing yield of the finished goods. |
