1. ATFT array inspecting apparatus comprising:
a vacuum chamber;
a stage disposed in the vacuum chamber so that a TFT array to be inspected is disposed on the stage;
an electron gun opposite to the stage in the vacuum chamber to generate an electron beam onto the TFT array;
an electron detecting unit to detect secondary electrons emitted from the TFT array in response to the electron beam of the electron gun; and
at least one elevating unit to move the TFT array to a position between a level position and an inclined position having a designated angle with the level position, the position varying according to a size of the TFT array.
