Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program code for implementing a method for identifying a defect type associated with a detected defect in a flat panel display, said method comprising: receiving, in a computing device, a defect mask image associated with an image of a detected defect in a flat panel display; receiving, in said computing device, a plurality of landmark mask images, wherein: computing a source-defect connectivity measure between said detected defect and a first source line using a first landmark mask image, from said plurality of landmark mask images, associated with said first source line; computing a gate-defect connectivity measure between said detected defect and a first gate line using a second landmark mask image, from said plurality of landmark mask images, associated with said first gate line; when said source-defect connectivity measure is not equal to zero or said gate-defect connectivity measure is not equal to zero, identifying a defect type associated with said detected defect based on said source-defect connectivity measure and said gate-defect connectivity measure; and when said source-defect connectivity measure is equal to zero and said gate-defect connectivity measure is equal to zero:
