<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal material applying device and a liquid crystal material applying method which are capable of dropping a trace amount of a liquid crystal material with a fine pitch, and as a result, are capable of reducing gaps of a liquid crystal material layer of a liquid crystal panel. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal material applying device for applying a liquid crystal material to a substrate includes: liquid crystal material storage means 22 in which the liquid crystal material is stored; inner pressure control means 16a, 17, and 20 which is connected to the liquid crystal material storage means 20 and maintains inner pressure of the liquid crystal material storage means 22 within a prescribed range; and inkjet applying means 11 which is connected to the liquid crystal material storage means 22 and applies the liquid crystal material to the substrate. The inner pressure control means is configured to include gas supply parts 18 and 18a for supplying atmospheric air or an arbitrary gas to the liquid crystal material storage means and negative pressure supply parts 17, 17a, and 20 for supplying negative pressure to the liquid crystal material storage means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
