Abstract

An inspection device for a display device includes: an inspection circuit which judges a defect of each of pixels based on current which flows through an inspection interconnect connected with interconnects of the display device; and an inspection driver circuit which drives by supplying a necessary signal to the display device. The inspection circuit includes: a correction circuit which generates a first correction current which substantially cancels a first current which flows through the inspection interconnect when all the pixels are set to an off-state based on the first current; a detection circuit which detects a measured value for each pixel obtained by correcting a measured current which flows through the inspection interconnect by the first correction current each time the pixels are sequentially set to an on-state; and a defect judgment circuit which judges a defect of each of the pixels based on the measured value.
