## Abstract

The present disclosure provides a worktable for testing a liquid crystal panel. In one embodiment, the worktable for testing the liquid crystal panel includes: a table body, an upper surface of which being formed with a mounting groove in order to form a light-transmittance region; wherein, the table body is further formed with a slot that has an opening in a side surface of the table body and that is configured to mount a lower polarizer therein so that the lower polarizer at least covers the light-transmittance region. The present disclosure also provides a test apparatus including the mentioned worktable.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A worktable for testing a liquid crystal panel, the worktable comprising:
a table body, an upper surface of which being formed with a mounting groove in order to form a light-transmittance region;
wherein, the table body is further formed with a slot that has an opening in a side surface of the table body and that is configured to mount a lower polarizer of the liquid crystal panel therein so that the lower polarizer at least covers the light-transmittance region; wherein the table body further comprises a clamping roller and an auxiliary roller provided respectively at opposing edges of the upper surface thereof, the auxiliary roller is configured to bear against a side edge of the liquid crystal panel, and the clamping roller is connected to a driving mechanism and is able to be driven by the driving mechanism to push an opposing side edge of the liquid crystal panel, so that the clamping roller and the auxiliary roller cooperate to clamp the liquid crystal panel therebetween.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The worktable of claim 1, wherein the table body is further provided with a fixing mechanism configured for fixing the lower polarizer.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)
