Patent ID: 8079662

Claim:
A droplet applying apparatus comprising: a base having a mounting surface on which a substrate is to be mounted; an arm part which is provided so as to confront the mounting surface and stretch over the mounting surface in a first direction of the mounting surface and which is fitted to the base so as to be movable relative to the base in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction of the mounting surface; a plurality of droplet ejecting sections which are fitted to the arm part so as to be movable relative to the base in the first direction and which eject droplets to the substrate to apply the droplets thereto; image pickup parts which have a low-magnification mode and a high-magnification mode and which serve for detecting an alignment mark of the substrate mounted on the mounting surface; and an attitude adjustment member for adjusting an attitude of the substrate mounted on the mounting surface based on a detection result of the image pickup parts, wherein the arm part has levitative moving mechanisms fitted to arm part moving mechanisms provided on both sides in the first direction of the mounting surface of the base, respectively, a first beam member and a second beam member stretched over the levitative moving mechanisms, respectively, the first beam member and the second beam member confronting the mounting surface, extending in the first direction, and being spaced from each other, wherein the first beam member and the second beam member move along the arm part moving mechanisms together with the levitative moving mechanisms, wherein the plurality of droplet ejecting sections are mounted on one surface of the first beam member opposite to a surface thereof facing the second beam member, as well as one surface of the second beam member opposite to a surface thereof facing the first beam member, respectively, wherein the image pickup parts are fitted on the surface of the first beam member facing the second beam member, and wherein the first beam member, the second beam member, the droplet ejecting sections, and the image pickup parts move at the same time.
