Liquid droplet ejecting apparatus, electro-optical device, method of manufacturing the electro-optical device, and electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus of the present invention includes a cleaning unit, a regular flushing unit, capping unit, and an ejection-amount measuring unit as droplet ejecting head maintenance units used for function maintenance, function recovery, adjustment, or inspection of a liquid ejecting head. The droplet ejecting head maintenance units are arranged in a group in a movable platen as a maintenance-unit installing section. The movable platen is supported by an accessory stand physically separated from a main body.
1. A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus comprising:
a main body;
a work piece mounting unit on which a work piece is mounted;
a droplet ejecting head for ejecting liquid to the work piece;
a Y-axis movement mechanism for moving the work piece mounting unit in a Y-axis direction relative to the main body, and an X-axis movement mechanism for moving the droplet ejecting head in an X-axis direction substantially perpendicular to the Y-axis direction relative to the main body;
a relative movement mechanism for moving the work piece mounting unit relative to the droplet ejecting head;
droplet ejecting head maintenance units arranged in a group in a maintenance unit installing section;
a maintenance unit moving mechanism for moving the maintenance unit installing section in the X-axis direction relative to the main body, and
wherein the droplet ejecting head maintenance units in the maintenance unit installing section are arranged in a line in the X-axis direction relative to the main body.
