FIG. 4 shows a conventional defect inspection method for a square glass plate for a liquid crystal panel. The glass plate 1 to be inspected is supported by both hands, and a white light source is placed on the front side or the back side to irradiate the glass plate 1 and visually observed on the opposite side.
If there is a defect on the front surface or the back surface, the irradiation light is scattered, so that the defect is detected. However, such an inspection method is not only inefficient, but also the scattered light at an angle is disturbed by the irradiation light, so that the S / N is poor, and it is difficult to detect a minute defect. In contrast, a simple experiment was performed by the inventor of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows an experimental method.
When the white light L is applied to the side surface, the surface defect p scatters the scattered light R, and can be observed by the naked eye 3 on the front side or the back side. Also, this method is considered to be advantageous in that there is no possibility that the S / N of the light receiver is reduced due to surface reflection unlike the method of projecting light onto a conventional surface. The present invention has been made based on the above experimental results, and has as its object to provide a method for inspecting a small defect in a glass plate and an apparatus therefor.

The glass plate of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure has surface defects.
In the defect inspection method and the inspection apparatus, a white light beam having an appropriate angle projected on two orthogonal side surfaces of the glass plate to be inspected is totally reflected on the entire inner surface. This totally reflected light is scattered by a surface defect, and the scattered light is emitted to the front side or the back side .
It provided shielding plates to eliminate interference to detect defects and received by light receiver. In this case, the total reflection light is not emitted to the outside remains in the interior, a method of projecting to a conventional surface advantageous over those S / N ratio is lowered by the surface reflection light, that amount detection performance good It is.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a surface defect inspection method according to the present invention. First, the principle is described as (a)
Indicates the state of refraction of the white projection light L projected on the side surface of the glass plate 1 inside the glass plate. Light rays whose incident angle θ ′ with respect to the inner surface exceeds the critical angle are totally reflected and travel forward, and reach the opposite side surface. If the projection light is a light flux in the range of the angle θ, the entire inner surface is irradiated with the totally reflected light. Now
If there is a scratch (a) on the surface, this will scatter the total reflection light,
Part of the scattered light R passes through the surface and travels upward. The same applies when the surface has irregularities (b). However, according to the above experiment, it was found that the foreign matter (c) attached to the surface did not scatter scattered light. This is probably because the foreign matter (c) is not irradiated with the total reflection light because it is on the surface. Scattered light is similarly scattered due to scratches and irregularities on the back side with respect to the above-mentioned front side, but in this case, the amount of emission on the front side is small due to loss inside the glass plate. It should be added here that in the conventional surface defect inspection of a glass plate or the like, a method of projecting a laser beam onto the surface and receiving light scattered by the defect is mainly performed. There is a problem that the light is reflected by the surface to become noise and the S / N of the received light is reduced. On the other hand, in the method of projecting from the side to the inside as in the present invention, since there is no surface reflection, there is no reduction in S / N, which is advantageous in principle. In the above description, white light is optimal for the projection light, and the space on the back side needs to be made non-reflective by an appropriate method. Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the projection light L is reflected by the edge of the side surface, because the reflected light L e is the light receiver of the S / N is reduced upward, necessary to block this It is. Next, in the case of a large-sized liquid crystal panel, when it is supported by four sides, a certain degree of curvature cannot be avoided. FIG. 1 (c) shows a curved glass plate 1, in which the total reflection light irradiates the entire inner surface in the same manner as described above. Therefore, even if it bends to some extent, it does not interfere with defect inspection. By the above, the glass plate 1 is supported by a suitable support base projecting a white light beam appropriate angle to the side surface, the surface defects by receiving scattered light to the light receiving unit at the surface side or back side is satisfactorily detected You.

An image receiving camera 8 is provided at an appropriate position above the glass plate, and shielding plates 71 to 74 are provided so that light reflected by the side surface of the projection light does not enter the camera. In this case, the defect can be detected to some extent by observing the scattered light R with the naked eye, regardless of the image receiving camera.
