Patent ID: 6851460

Claim:
A liquid crystal dropping apparatus for dropping liquid crystal discharged from discharging ports of a liquid crystal dropping head on a planned drop region, comprising: a discharging driving section for discharging the liquid crystal from each of the discharging ports of the liquid crystal dropping head; and a control apparatus for controlling the discharging driving section to control a discharging state of the liquid crystal for each of the discharging ports, wherein when an entire dropping subject width W of the planned drop region has a relation (W=n×L+α (n is an integer, α<L)) with respect to an entire discharging width L of the liquid crystal dropping head, at the time of a last scanning but one among all scanning carried out by the liquid crystal dropping head for the entire planned drop region, n number of liquid crystal band-like bodies having discharging width L are arranged on the planned drop region, and at the time of the last scanning, a liquid crystal band-like body corresponds to the partial discharging width α is dropped on a remaining planned drop region which is the planned drop region of this time.
