Liquid body discharge device and method for discharging liquid body
View Patent ↗A liquid body discharge device includes: a plurality of nozzles for discharging a liquid body to a liquid body discharged region of a substrate; and a plurality of heads including the plurality of nozzles. In the device, the liquid body is discharged to the liquid body discharged region of the substrate by moving one of the substrate and the plurality of heads. Further, an alignment direction of the plurality of nozzles provided to at least one of the plurality of heads is different from an alignment direction of the plurality of nozzles provided to a rest of the plurality of heads. Furthermore, the at least one of the heads moves in a moving path A and the rest of the plurality of heads moves in a moving path B that is a different moving path from the moving path A.
1. A liquid body discharge device, comprising:
a plurality of nozzles for discharging a liquid body to a liquid body discharged region of a substrate; and
a plurality of heads including the plurality of nozzles,
wherein the liquid body is discharged to the liquid body discharged region of the substrate by moving one of the substrate and the plurality of heads,
wherein an alignment direction of the plurality of nozzles provided to at least one of the plurality of heads is orthogonal to an alignment direction of the plurality of nozzles provided to a rest of the plurality of heads,
wherein the at least one of the heads moves in a moving path A and the rest of the plurality of heads moves in a moving path B that is a different moving path from the moving path A.
2. The liquid body discharge device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a head moving unit that moves the at least one of the plurality of heads in a first direction along the moving path A in a case where the liquid body is discharged from the plurality of nozzles provided to the at least one of the plurality of heads to the liquid body discharged region; and
a substrate moving unit that moves the substrate in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction in a case where the liquid body is discharged from the plurality of nozzles provided to the rest of the plurality of heads to the liquid body discharged region.
3. The liquid body discharge device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a substrate moving unit that moves the substrate in the first direction along the moving path A in a case where the liquid body is discharged from the plurality of nozzles provided to the at least one of the plurality of heads to the liquid body discharged region, and moves the substrate in the second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction in a case where the liquid body is discharged from the plurality of nozzles provided to the rest of the plurality of heads to the liquid body discharged region.
4. The liquid body discharge device according to claim 2 , wherein in a case where the at least one of the plurality of heads is formed in a plural number, the heads are opposed in a direction orthogonal to the first direction.
5. The liquid body discharge device according to claim 2 , wherein the first direction and the second direction are substantially orthogonal to each other.
6. A droplet discharge device, comprising:
a first movable droplet discharge head having a first plurality of nozzles aligned in a first direction;
a second movable droplet discharge head having a second plurality of nozzles aligned in a second direction, the second direction being orthogonal to the first direction; and
a movable stage supporting at least a first substrate and a second substrate thereon, each of the first and second substrates having a plurality of droplet discharge regions thereon for receiving droplets ejected from either the first movable discharge head or the second movable discharge head, the droplet discharge regions of the first substrate being arranged orthogonal to the droplet discharge regions of the second substrate,
wherein the alignment directions of the first and second movable droplet discharge heads correspond to arrangements of the droplet discharge regions of the first and second substrates.
