Abstract
An apparatus is provided to arrange spacers at fixed points, a liquid crystal device, a method of manufacturing the liquid crystal device, and an electronic apparatus with the liquid crystal device. It is an object to precisely arrange spacers without using a highly accurate nozzle head and to arrange spacers of various densities without changing the nozzle. The arrangement direction of the nozzle holes crosses the direction, which is perpendicular to the scanning direction, at a predetermined angle when the spacer dispersion solution obtained by dispersing the spacers in the solvent is discharged from the plurality of nozzle holes while the nozzle head is scanned along the predetermined scanning direction.
