Abstract
The main object of the present invention is to form an even pattern. In order to achieve the object, in the present invention, patterns P1 to P6 formed on a substrate 400 are formed by liquid droplets discharged from a piezoelectric driving type head unit 300. The size of each liquid droplet discharged from each orifice 300-1 to 300-n differs depending on the mechanical and electric characteristics. The liquid droplets discharged form each orifice 300-1 to 300-n are thinned out so as to have the liquid droplet amount per unit area to be impacted on each pattern p1 to P6 equally.

A method for manufacturing a pattern forming body comprising:
- forming of a pattern of a lyophilic area on a substrate surface, where liquid droplets wet and spread, corresponding to the pattern to be formed, and
- thinning out of the liquid droplet discharge from each head according to a predetermined rule such that the liquid droplet amount per unit area to be impacted on the lyophilic area is made even,
- wherein forming the pattern on the substrate by discharging a plurality of liquid droplets to the substrate from each head while changing the relative position of a head unit with a plurality of integrated heads and the substrate.
A pattern producing apparatus comprising:
- a stage for placing a substrate,
- a position adjusting mechanism for adjusting the relative positional relationship between the stage and a head unit, and
- a control section for discharging the liquid droplets from the each head while thinning out the liquid droplet discharge of the each head according to a predetermined rule such that the liquid droplet amount per unit area to be impacted on the substrate is made even between the each head,
- wherein forming the pattern on the substrate by discharging a plurality of liquid droplets from each head to the substrate while changing relative position of the head unit with a plurality of integrated heads and the substrate.
