The glass substrate test apparatus of the liquid crystal cell process
comprises a laser unit for generating a laser beam, a beam shaper and
beam collimator for shaping the laser beam emitted from the laser unit so
as to have an elongated cross section and parallelizing the shaped laser
beam, a photo detector for detecting an intensity of double refraction of
the shaped laser beam transmitted over the whole glass substrate, a phase
defector for measuring the laser double refraction detected by the photo
detector and comparing the measured double refraction with a standard
laser double refraction, and a polarizer arranged between the laser unit
and the beam shaper or between the beam shaper and the beam collimator
for polarizing the laser beam to a parallel ray.
