Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method of forming a pattern includes preparing a substrate having a liquid-repellent face and a lyophilic pattern which are located adjacent to each other on a surface of the substrate, the lyophilic pattern having a surface energy different from the liquid-repellent face, bringing ink into contact with the substrate, and applying the ink to the lyophilic pattern by moving a contacted ink surface. The lyophilic pattern includes a linear main lyophilic pattern and an auxiliary lyophilic pattern connected to the lyophilic pattern. A liquid-repellent region is defined in the liquid-repellent face between the main lyophilic pattern and the auxiliary lyophilic pattern.
