Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical inspection device for an optical performance test of a display device including a lens part configured to transmit external light, a phase film part configured to change a phase difference of the external light and transmit the external light, and an image processor configured to obtain electrical information of the external light, in which a phase difference of the phase film part is at least 7000 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical inspection device for an optical performance test of a display device, comprising: a main body; a lens part disposed on the main body and configured to transmit external light; and a phase film part disposed between the main body and the lens part, and configured to change a phase difference of the external light and transmit the external light; and a phase retardation part disposed between the phase film part and the lens part, the phase retardation part being configured to retard a phase of light provided thereto, wherein the main body includes an image processor configured to obtain electrical information of the external light, and wherein a phase difference of the phase film part is at least 7000 nm. 2. The optical inspection device of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation part comprises a λ/4 phase retardation layer. 3. The optical inspection device of claim 1 , wherein the phase film part has a phase difference of at least 8000 nm. 4. The optical inspection device of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation part has a second optical axis, and an angle defined between the second optical axis and one of the first absorption axis and the first transmission axis is in a range of 25 degrees to 65 degrees. 5. The optical inspection device of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation part has a second optical axis, and an angle defined between the second optical axis and the first polarizing axis is in a range of 25 degrees to 65 degrees. 6. The optical inspection device of claim 1 , further comprising a polarizing part having a first absorption axis and a first transmission axis vertical to the first absorption axis, the polarizing part being configured to not transmit light parallel to the first absorption axis and transmit light parallel to the first transmission axis, wherein the main body further includes a polarizer having a first polarizing axis. 7. The optical inspection device of claim 6 , wherein an angle defined between the first polarizing axis and the first absorption axis or the first transmission axis is in a range of 25 degrees to 65 degrees. 8. The optical inspection device of claim 6 , wherein the phase film part has a first optical axis, and an angle defined between the first optical axis and one of the first absorption axis and the first transmission axis is in a range of 25 degrees to 65 degrees. 9. The optical inspection device of claim 6 , wherein the phase film part has a first optical axis, and an angle defined between the first optical axis and the first polarizing axis is in a range of 25 degrees to 65 degrees.
