摘要

A method for forming a pattern on a substrate by ejecting droplets containing a pattern forming material from an ejection head onto the substrate is disclosed. The ejection head has ejection ports that are aligned along a surface of the substrate. While the substrate is being moved relative to the ejection head, droplets containing the pattern forming material are ejected from the ejection ports along a direction of ejection that is inclined with respect to a normal line of the substrate. The ejection of the droplet is performed in a state where the alignment direction of the ejection ports is inclined with respect to the movement direction of the substrate.
