Method and apparatus for producing color filter, method and apparatus for manufacturing liquid crystal device, method and apparatus for manufacturing el device, method of discharging material, apparatus for controlling head and electronic apparatus

An apparatus for producing a color filter by arranging filter elements on a substrate, the apparatus comprising:

• a head that includes a nozzle row having a plurality of nozzles arranged in a row;
• and
• a main scanning device that scans one of the head and the substrate relative to the other of the head and the substrate in a main scanning direction, the main scanning device performing main scanning multiple times so that a portion of a crossing region of the nozzle row and the substrate in each performance of main scanning overlaps with at least a portion of crossing regions in other performances of main scanning.

A method of manufacturing an EL device that includes an EL luminescent layer which is arranged in a dot arrangement over a substrate by arranging an EL luminescent material over the substrate, the method comprising:

• a first main scanning step of scanning, in a main scanning direction, one of the substrate and a head relative to the other of the substrate and the head, the head having a nozzle row that includes an arrangement of a plurality of nozzles, while discharging the EL luminescent material from the plurality of nozzles to the substrate;
• and
• a second main scanning step of scanning one of the head and the substrate relative to the other of the head and the substrate along the main scanning direction while discharging the EL luminescent material to the substrate, the second main scanning step being performed such that a portion of a crossing region of the nozzle row and the substrate overlaps with at least a portion of a crossing region of the nozzle row and the substrate in the first main scanning step.

An apparatus for manufacturing an EL device by arranging an EL luminescent layer over a substrate, the apparatus comprising:

• a head that includes a nozzle row having a plurality of nozzles arranged in a row;
• and
• a main scanning device that scans one of the head and the substrate relative to the other of the head and the substrate in the main scanning direction, the main scanning device performing main scanning multiple times so that a portion of a crossing region of the nozzle row and the substrate in each performance of main scanning overlaps with at least a portion of crossing regions in other performances of main scanning.

A method of discharging a material to an object, comprising:

• a first main scanning step of scanning, along a main scanning direction, one of a head and the object relative to the other of the head and the object, the head having a nozzle row that includes an arrangement of a plurality of nozzles, while discharging a material from the plurality of nozzles to the object;
• and
• a second main scanning step of scanning one of the head and the object relative to the other of the head and the object along the main scanning direction while discharging a material to the object, the second main scanning step being performed so that a portion of a crossing region of the nozzle row and the object overlaps with at least a portion of a crossing region of the nozzle row and the object in the first main scanning step.

An apparatus for controlling a head that discharges a material to an object, the apparatus comprising:

• a main scanning component that scans one of the head and the object along a main scanning direction, the main scanning component performing a plurality of main scannings so that a portion of a crossing region of a nozzle row and the object in each performance of main scanning overlaps with at least a portion of a crossing region in other performances of main scanning.
