Abstract:
A screen-printing method, comprising the steps of:filling, in a state in which a screen having a plurality of through-holes is contacted with a print surface of a substrate, the through-holes with a print material, and thereby applying the print material to the print surface of the substrate, moving, after the filling step, at least one of the screen and the substrate relative to the other of the screen and the substrate, in at least one cycle, on a plane parallel to the print surface of the substrate, and separating, after the moving step, the screen and the substrate from each other, wherein said plurality of through-holes comprise at least one first elongated hole which is elongated in a first direction parallel to a first straight line parallel to the print surface, and at least one second elongated hole which is elongated in a second direction parallel to a second straight line parallel to the print surface and perpendicular to the first straight line, and wherein the moving step comprises moving, in each of said first and second directions, said at least one of the screen and the substrate relative to said other of the screen and the substrate, in said at least one cycle.
