Liquid droplet ejection apparatus, method for manufacturing electro-optical apparatus, electro-optical apparatus, and electronic apparatus

1. A liquid droplet ejection apparatus comprising:

a writing device that performs writing on a workpiece by ejecting functional liquid from at least one ink jet functional liquid droplet ejection head while moving the functional liquid droplet ejection head relative to the workpiece;

a weight measuring device that measures an amount of ejected droplets on the basis of a weight of the functional liquid ejected from the functional liquid droplet ejection head, the weight measuring device being disposed adjacent to the writing device;

a controlling device that controls a driving power for the functional liquid droplet ejection head on the basis of a measurement result input from the weight measuring device; and

a cleaning device that sucks the functional liquid in the functional liquid droplet ejection head and wipes the functional liquid droplet ejection head,

wherein the writing device includes an x-axis table that mounts the workpiece thereon and that moves the workpiece in the x-axis direction and a y-axis table that mounts the functional liquid droplet ejection head thereon and that moves the functional liquid droplet ejection head in the y-axis direction,

wherein the cleaning device is disposed in a path of movement of the functional liquid droplet ejection head in the y-axis direction, and

wherein the weight measuring device is disposed between the x-axis table and the cleaning device in a path of movement of the functional liquid droplet ejection head.

2. The liquid droplet ejection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one functional liquid droplet ejection head includes a plurality of functional liquid droplet ejection heads,

wherein the weight measuring device includes:

a container that receives functional liquid ejected from any one of the functional liquid droplet ejection heads;

an electronic balance that measures a weight of the functional liquid in the container; and

a flushing box disposed around the container,

wherein, while the functional liquid droplet ejection head performs measurement ejection on the container, the flushing box receives waste ejection from the other functional liquid droplet ejection heads.

3. The liquid droplet ejection apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a sub-table that moves the weight measuring device in the x-axis direction,

wherein the plurality of functional liquid droplet ejection heads are arranged in the x-axis direction and divided into head groups.

4. The liquid droplet ejection apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a protective cover that covers a space above the container when the weight of the functional liquid is measured by the electronic balance, the protective cover being disposed in a path of movement of the sub-table.

5. The liquid droplet ejection apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a protective cover that covers a space above the container when the weight of the first functional liquid in the container is measured by the electronic balance, the protective cover being disposed over the container.

6. A liquid droplet ejection apparatus comprising:

a first ink jet head that ejects a first functional liquid;

a second ink jet head that ejects a second functional liquid;

a weight measuring device that measures a weight of the first functional liquid ejected from the first ink jet head; and

a controlling device that controls a driving power for the first ink jet head based on the weight of the first functional liquid measured by the weight measuring device,

wherein the weight measuring device includes:

a container that receives the first functional liquid ejected from the first ink jet head while the first ink jet head performs a measurement ejection;

an electronic balance that measures the weight of the first functional liquid ejected from the first ink jet head in the container; and

a flushing box, wherein, during at least a portion of the measurement ejection by the first ink jet head, the flushing box receives the second functional liquid ejected from the second ink jet head.

7. The liquid droplet ejection apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first functional liquid and the second functional liquid are the same functional liquid.

8. The liquid droplet ejection apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first functional liquid and the second functional liquid are different functional liquids.
