Abstract: A method for formation of a line pattern using a multiply nozzle head includes forming a cell region in which display cells with a height corresponding to a multiple of a line gap of nozzles provided to the multiply nozzle head are repeated in two dimensions; and forming different kinds of first and second line patterns alternatively repeated on the cell region by ink-jet printing using the multiply nozzle head. When the multiply nozzle head scans once, the first and second line patterns are formed at the same time under the condition that the height of the display cells and a gap between two associative line patterns are a multiply of the line gap of nozzles. This method may improve productivity by reducing the number of scans of the multiply nozzle head, and also decrease the possibility of open circuit occurring when forming a line pattern by ink jetting.
