<p>A liquid crystal supply device for supplying liquid crystals as liquid drops. The liquid crystal supply device has liquid crystal supply means (6) having at its tip a nozzle (8) facing the surface of a substrate and discharging liquid crystal drops from the tip of the nozzle, a light projector (21) and light receiver (22) arranged so as to face each other across the nozzle, light detection means (15) for detecting whether liquid drops are discharged or not depending on the amount of light received by the light receiver receiving detection light emitted from the light projector, and a light shielding member (24) placed between the surface of the substrate and preventing diffused light, produced from the detection light emitted from the light projector, from entering into the light receiver after being reflected by the surface of the substrate.</p> |
