Abstract

Aims to provide an inspection apparatus and an inspection method for detecting an amount of misalignment of a component mounted on a panel through an ACF. The inspection apparatus detects an amount of misalignment, from a predetermined mounting position, of a component mounted on a panel's top surface through an AFC, and includes: a visible light illuminator (304) which illuminates with visible light a panel recognition mark formed on the panel's top surface; an infrared light illuminator which is provided on a side of the component's bottom surface not adhered to the panel and illuminates with infrared light a component recognition mark formed on the component's top surface; a visible light camera (306) which is provided on a bottom surface side of the panel which is opposite to a side of the panel on which the component is mounted, and which captures an image of the panel recognition mark illuminated with the visible light; an infrared camera (307) which is provided on a side of a bottom surface of the component not adhered to the panel, and which captures an image of the component recognition mark illuminated with the infrared light; and an amount-of-misalignment calculation uni…
