Abstract
A liquid member ejecting device comprises an ejecting head and a liquid member tank for storing a liquid member and supplying the liquid member to the ejecting head. The liquid member ejecting device further comprises an attracting member for covering nozzles, a first decompressing section which is connected to the first attracting section for decompressing inside of the ejecting head via the first attracting member, a second attracting member for covering the nozzles, and a second decompressing section which is connected to the second attracting member so as to decompress inside of the ejecting head via the second attracting member and inside of the liquid member tank while communicating the liquid member tank. By doing this, it is possible to provide a liquid member ejecting device and method therefor, an electro-optic device, and manufacturing method therefor, and an electronic apparatus which can prevent the manufacturing cost from increasing due to the wasteful use of the liquid member so as to remove bubbles from the ejecting head while realizing a smaller nozzle diameter and finer flow paths.
