Abstract
A liquid droplet patterning apparatus includes a plurality of support members, rotation servomotors, sliding mechanisms and position adjusting mechanisms. The support members rotatably support nozzle heads. The servomotors rotate the respective nozzle heads about an axis extending in a direction parallel to a liquid droplet ejecting direction of the nozzle heads and orthogonal to a nozzle alignment direction in the nozzle heads, with respect to the support members. The sliding mechanisms slidably support the respective support members in the sub-scanning direction.
