Abstract

A liquid droplet ejection apparatus in which a function liquid droplet is selectively ejected toward a workpiece while carrying out a relative movement between a function liquid droplet ejection head and the workpiece is made up of: a plurality of function liquid droplet ejection heads; a carriage for mounting thereon the plurality of function liquid droplet ejection heads; a head stocker for stocking the plurality of function liquid droplet ejection heads; and a head transfer mechanism for transferring each of the plurality of function liquid droplet ejection heads between the carriage and the head stocker. The function liquid droplet ejection heads are automatically replaced, so that the liquid droplet ejection apparatus can perform the workpiece processing efficiently.
