Abstract

There provides a nozzle plate having fine nozzle holes capable of transferring a pattern collectively, and a method of producing the same. Further, there provides a method of forming fine nozzle holes in a required shape, at a required position on a substrate, and an inkjet nozzle plate obtained by the method. Moreover, there provides a collective transfer inkjet nozzle plate can have a high imaging efficiency, and can reduce the cost by simplifying a nozzle controller; and a method of producing the same.Fine nozzle holes in a plate of a setting material are formed by: forming three-dimensional structures on a substrate in accordance with a fine inkjet process based on data in a computer, coating a setting material in a portion other than portions where the three-dimensional structures are formed, and then hardening and removing the setting material.
