Patent ID: 7459177

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device which has a functional region in which electro-optical elements of pixels function and a non-functional region which is formed around the functional region, the method comprising: forming liquid holding regions in the functional region and in the non-functional region, an area of the liquid holding region in the functional region being formed larger than an area of the liquid holding region in the non-functional region: discharging, into the liquid holding region in the functional region and in the non-functional region, a liquid material, in which functional materials constituting the electro-optical elements are dissolved or dispersed into a solvent, with a liquid droplet discharge method, wherein, in the discharging of the liquid material, the liquid material is discharged onto the functional region and the liquid material or the solvent is discharged onto the non-functional region, and the amount of the solvent discharged onto the non-functional region per unit area is larger than the amount of the solvent discharged onto the functional region per unit area.
