Abstract
An evaporation apparatus includes: a substrate holding section configured to hold a substrate; an evaporation mask having an opening part at a position which is opposite to one surface of the substrate; an evaporation source configured to supply the one surface with evaporated particles via the opening part and to form a film of the evaporated particles on the one surface exposed from the opening part; and a film thickness correction means configured to block a portion of an ejection path of the evaporated particles from the evaporation source toward the opening part and configured to correct a thickness of the film by changing a position at which the ejection path is blocked over time.
