ABSTRACT:
A method of repairing a liquid crystal panel by irradiating a defective pixel of the liquid crystal panel with laser light, comprises: in a defective pixel including a dust, irradiating at least part of the defective pixel outside the dust with laser light while the dust is not substantially irradiated with the laser light. Alternatively, a method of repairing a liquid crystal panel by irradiating a defective pixel of the liquid crystal panel with laser light, comprises: in a defective pixel including a dust, determining a non-irradiation area including the dust and an irradiation area not including the dust, and irradiating at least part of the irradiation area with laser light while the non-irradiation area is not irradiated with the laser light. An apparatus for repairing a liquid crystal panel, comprises: a laser oscillator which emits laser light; a stage on which the liquid crystal panel is mounted; an optical section which guides the laser light emitted from the laser oscillator to the liquid crystal panel mounted on the stage; and a controller which controls at least one of the stage and the optical section so that, when a dust is included in a defective pixel of the liquid crystal panel, at least part of the defective pixel outside the dust is irradiated with the laser light while the dust is not substantially irradiated with the laser light.
