MAINTENANCE METHOD AND MAINTENANCE APPARATUS FOR FUNCTIONAL LIQUID DROPLET DISCHARGE HEAD, AND DROPLET DISCHARGE APPARATUS, MANUFACTURE METHOD FOR ELECTROOPTIC DEVICE, ELECTROOPTIC DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a maintenance method and a maintenance apparatus for functional liquid droplet discharge head and a droplet discharge apparatus for properly removing the stain deposited to the nozzle surface of an inkjet head without injuring the nozzle surface, and to provide a manufacture method for electrooptic device, an electrooptic device and an electronic appliance. SOLUTION: In the maintenance method for functional liquid droplet discharge head in which the maintenance of a functional liquid droplet discharge head is performed by removing the stain deposited on the nozzle surface of the functional liquid droplet discharge head that discharges functional liquid, the stain deposited on the nozzle surface is removed by pressing an adsorbent which adsorbs the stain against the nozzle surface.
