PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an electric shortcircuit between terminals by absorbing a bend of a probe needle due to a stylus pressure. SOLUTION: A plurality of probe needles 7 integrally supported corresponding to terminals of a liquid crystal display panel 15 are correctly brought in touch with the terminals, thereby testing the terminals in this prober. The prober is provided with an inclination-absorbing means for absorbing an inclination between the probe needle 7 and the terminal due to a stylus pressure of the probe needle 7, thereby correctly bringing the probe needle in touch with the terminal. The inclination-absorbing means is constituted of a block lift mechanism 50 for supporting and moving the probe needle 7 up, down or, a probe block mount flexible part at a gate side or data side for integrally supporting the plurality of probe needles and changing a bend amount in accordance with a size of the stylus pressure of the probe needles. The probe needle groups separated to the gate side and data side are brought in touch with the terminals in an order from a larger stylus pressure and separated from the terminals in an order from a smaller stylus pressure.
