A composite liquid crystal panel that interacts with an inspection station to simulate operating liquid crystal displays, and methods of fabricating and testing such liquid crystal panels. The composite liquid crystal panel enables the application of operating voltages to a plurality of unit liquid crystal panel areas. The inspection station provides operating power, illuminating light, and first and second polarizers. When power is applied to the composite liquid crystal panel an image is produced. That image will show defects in the unit liquid crystal panel areas. Beneficially, the inspection station tilts to enable easier problem identification.
