In this paper, an automatic functional inspection system EVT (Emulated Vision Tester) for LCD drive module PCB has been proposed and implemented. Typical automatic inspection system such as probing methods and vision-based systems are widely known and used, however, there exist undetectable defects due to critical timing factors which they may miss to catch from LCD equipments. Especially typical vision-based systems have inconsistency on acquisition of images so that distinction between gray scales can be difficult which results in low level of performance and reliability on the inspection results. The proposed EVT system is pure hardware solution. It directly compares pattern signals from a pattern generator to output signals from LCD drive module. It also inspects variety of analog signals such as voltage, resistance, wave forms and so forth. The EVT system not only shows high performance in terms of reliability and processing speed but reduces costs on inspection and maintenance. Also, full automation of entire production line can be realized when EVT is applied in in-line inspection processes.

To set up an objective basis for the evaluation of the stroboscopic findings, video-strobolaryngoscopic images of vocal fold vibration in 5 female and 5 male normal speakers were analyzed using an image analysis computer program called KSIP(Kay Storoboscopy Image Processing, Kay Elemetrics Corp., NJ, USA). Four consecutive vibratory cycles were compared in comfortable, louder, high-pitched /ee/ phonation for every subject. findings mostly replicated earlier studies including glottal chinks which were observed in most female speakers throughout the cycles and clear distinction between female and male speakers in their vibratory patterns as well as intensity and frequency-re-lated differences. However, there were some findings incompatible with those from previous studies which may be attributable to technical problems. This study may provide an objective basis of the stroboscopic findings such as image shape, amplitude, area, and their changes according to frequency and intensity variations. We anticipate that funker study with larger samples ran provide an objective criteria for normal vibratory characteristics of the laryngostro-boscopic findings.
