Abstract
According to an aspect of the invention, a liquid ejection apparatus including a head unit is provided. The head unit is movable on an object at least in two-dimensional directions. The head unit includes an ejecting portion and a radiating portion. The ejecting portion ejects droplets onto the object. The radiating portion radiates a laser beam onto the droplet received by the object. A controller adjusts the position of the ejecting portion and the position of the radiating portion in correspondence with a movement direction of the head unit. Thus, productivity is improved by efficiently drying and baking ejected liquid droplets.
