Abstract: In a liquid discharge device that discharges liquid while relatively rotating a medium and a discharge unit that discharges the liquid, a degradation of quality of the discharged liquid material caused by a difference of a relative moving distance between the medium and the discharge unit per unit time when the liquid is discharged is suppressed. The liquid discharge device includes a discharge unit (3) that discharges liquid from nozzles (4) to a medium (M), a rotating mechanism (14) that relatively rotationally moves the medium (M) and the discharge unit (3) around a rotation axis direction Z crossing a discharge direction of the liquid, and a control unit (6) that controls a discharge frequency of the liquid according to a relative moving distance between the medium (M) and the discharge unit (3) per unit time.
