Abstract

An inspection apparatus and method for precisely detect an amount of misalignment of a component mounted on a panel through an adhesive which contains conductive particles. The inspection apparatus detects an amount of misalignment, from a predetermined mounting position, of a component mounted on a surface of a panel through an ACF, and includes: a visible light camera which captures an image of a panel recognition mark formed on the panel and a component recognition mark formed on the component; an obtaining unit which obtains, from the image captured by the camera, positions of feature points of the respective recognition marks; and a calculation unit which calculates an amount of misalignment of the feature point of the component recognition mark in the image captured by the camera from a predetermined position that is determined using the position of the feature point of the panel recognition mark as a reference.
