Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a device, comprising: preparing a substrate; facing a liquid drop discharge head having a plurality of discharge nozzles arranged side by side with predetermined spacing distances in a first direction, which is horizontal relative to the substrate; setting a plurality of lattice-formed unit regions on which drops of liquid material are discharged from the discharge nozzles on the substrate; relatively shifting the liquid drop discharge head and the substrate in a second direction which is horizontal relative to the substrate and orthogonal relative to the first direction; and discharging the liquid material, on the substrate, from the discharge nozzles of the liquid drop discharge head, thereby forming a pattern on the substrate, wherein each of the unit regions is set so that, when each size of the spacing distances between each of the discharge nozzles of the liquid drop discharge head is defined as “a”, each size of the unit regions in the first direction is defined as “by,” and the number of lattice-formed unit regions is defined as “n” which is a positive integer, wherein the condition: by=a/n (where “n” is a positive integer) is satisfied.
