Abstract:
A method for forming a pattern on a substrate by ejecting droplets containing a pattern forming material from an ejection head onto the substrate is disclosed. The ejection head has ejection ports that are aligned along a surface of the substrate. While the substrate is being moved relative to the ejection head, droplets containing the pattern forming material are ejected from the ejection ports along a direction of ejection that is inclined with respect to a normal line of the substrate. The ejection of the droplet is performed in a state where the alignment direction of the ejection ports is inclined with respect to the movement direction of the substrate.

To provide a liquid discharger and a method to discharge liquid in which lowering of the precision of the assembly and the discharge accuracy of the high-viscosity liquid caused by thermal deformation, such as thermal expansion, is suppressed when the discharge heads of the inkjet apparatus are heated to accurately discharge the high-viscosity liquid, a liquid discharger having discharge heads to pressurize functional liquid contained in cavities communicating with nozzles and discharge the functional liquid from the nozzles, a mounting plate having openings to mount the discharge heads, a tank to contain the functional liquid discharged from discharge heads, and a liquid supply channel to supply the functional liquid from the tank to the discharge heads, the discharge heads mounted to the openings of the mounting plate at a same temperature as the temperature the functional liquid is discharged from the discharge heads.
Abstract:
An ejection head 30 is formed in a carriage 29 as inclined at an ejection angle θ1. This permits a microdroplet Fb, which is ejected from the ejection head 30, to travel in an ejecting direction J1 that is inclined at the ejection angle θ1 with respect to a normal line of the substrate 2. Thus, the position at which the microdroplet Fb is received by a backside 2b of the substrate 2, or a receiving position Pa, is brought closer to a radiating position of a laser beam B, or located offset from a nozzle position PN toward the radiating position of the laser beam B, by a first offset amount L1. This adjusts the size of a dot formed by drying the microdroplet Fb to a desired size.

Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to have a desired screen displayed with shortened waiting time in using functions for the electronic note, etc., while engaging in telephone talk. Another prime objective of the present invention is to achieve an easy-to-use mobile information terminal equipment which also functions as an electronic note, word processor, personal computer, and so on. In transitting from telephone mode (cover closed status) to information terminal mode (cover opened status), the screen to be displayed is determined to be either a historical information, talk log information, or user setting screen. This enables the user to obtain the desired screen with fewer number of operations and with less waiting time.

A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device enables decreasing the fraction defective of a liquid crystal panel upon manufacturing the liquid crystal display device using the liquid crystal dropping model in a large-sized board. The manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device includes a preliminary liquid crystal coating process, a film thickness measurement process, a liquid crystal discharge condition calculation process, and a liquid crystal coating process. The preliminary liquid crystal coating process scans a plurality of the cell forming areas of the sample board with a droplet discharge head in a predetermined scanning direction, and coats the liquid crystal with a predetermined discharge condition. The film thickness measurement process respectively measures the film thickness of the liquid crystal coated onto the plurality of the cell forming areas.

The liquid crystal coating process scans the plurality of the cell forming areas of the first motherboard with the droplet discharge head in the predetermined scanning direction, and coats the liquid crystal in accordance with the liquid crystal discharge condition calculated.
Abstract:
A liquid ejection apparatus has an ejecting portion that ejects a droplet of a liquid containing a functional material onto an object. The ejecting portion includes a transmittable member. A laser radiating portion radiates a laser beam onto the transmittable member. The transmittable member divides the laser beam into a first laser beam and a second laser beam. The first laser beam transmits through the transmittable member in such a manner that a radiating position of the first laser beam coincides with a droplet receiving position at which the droplet is received by the object or a position in the vicinity of the droplet receiving position. The second laser beam reaches a position defined on the object different from the radiating position of the first laser beam. This structure ensures accurate laser radiation onto the droplet and efficient drying and baking of the droplet.
