Disclosed is a method for detecting defects of a TFT array substrate. The method comprises steps of: positioning an abnormal area of the TFT array substrate; separating the abnormal area from other areas of the array substrate; and treating the abnormal area as such that multiple layers in the abnormal area can be revealed one by one, and detecting the revealed layers to determine a defective layer in the abnormal area.
