Abstract:
1. A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus comprising: a main body; a work piece carrying table for supporting a work piece; a Y-directional movement mechanism for moving the work piece carrying table with the work piece in a linear Y-axis direction relative to the main body; and a droplet ejecting head for ejecting liquid droplets to the work piece supported by the work piece carrying table, and at least one blowing unit for blowing a gas towards the work piece supported by the work piece carrying table to dry the liquid droplets ejected to the work piece, the at least one blowing unit being connected to an air conditioning apparatus for controlling a condition of the gas including at least one of a temperature and a humidity of the gas; the liquid droplet ejecting apparatus being provided and used in a chamber whose inner atmospheric condition is controlled, and the condition of the gas being controlled by the air conditioning apparatus separately from the inner atmospheric condition of the chamber to be almost equal to the inner atmospheric condition of the chamber in which the liquid droplet ejecting apparatus is placed.
