Patent ID: 8201910

Claim:
A line drawing method for drawing a linear pattern on a non-permeable medium by applying droplets of liquid onto the non-permeable medium by using an inkjet method, wherein drawing of the linear pattern is started from a middle portion of the linear pattern, and wherein when the dot pitches of the droplets of liquid are p[μm], the diameters of the droplets of liquid are d[μm], and contact angles between the non-permeable medium and the droplets of liquid are θ[rad], the dot pitches p[μm] satisfy the following condition: p ≤ π ⁢ ⁢ d 6 ⁢ ( θ sin 2 ⁢ θ - cos ⁢ ⁢ θ sin ⁢ ⁢ θ ) ⁢ { tan ⁢ θ 2 ⁢ ( 3 + tan 2 ⁢ θ 2 ) } 2 3 .
