Abstract

An AC signal source (26) in series with a variable DC source (34) drives a gate line of an LCD-display drive matrix (10), and current meters (28, 30, 32) monitor the resultant currents in the drain lines. By comparing the thus-measured transadmittance both with and without enabling values of the DC-source output, one can test the matrix (10) for defects.
