The invention provides a coating detecting device and method. The coating detecting device comprises a bearing platform, a conveying wheel set, a fixing support, a plurality of CCD image sensors, a plurality of film thickness measurers and a computer for processing data. The coating detecting device has the advantages that the row of CCD image sensors are arranged above the conveying wheel set, the arranging density of the CCD image sensors is increased, a high-precision AOI detecting function is achieved, coating defects such as foreign matter, bubbles, color halo, scratches and printing skewing can be detected effectively, extra spot checking is not needed later to perform macroscopic and microcosmic detection, operators does not need to remotely sense the back and forth movement of the CCD image sensors, the coating effect of a substrate can be detected in a full-automatic manner, productivity can be increased effectively, a film thickness measuring function is achieved by the film thickness measurers, and comprehensive detecting of the coating effect of the substrate is achieved.
