Abstract: The droplet applying apparatus includes a base 11 having a mounting surface 11a on which a substrate 10 is to be mounted, beam members 41, 42 which are fitted to the base 11 so as to be movable relative to the base 11 in an arrow A direction, a plurality of droplet ejecting sections 6 which are fitted to the beam members 41, 42 so as to be movable in an arrow B direction and which eject droplets to the substrate 10, and a control section 13 for controlling movement or stop of the plurality of droplet ejecting sections 6. The control section 13, during ejection operation of one of the droplet ejecting sections 6, performs such control as to effectuate gentle acceleration changes in speed changes of the other droplet moving ejecting section proximate to the one droplet ejecting section 6 while the movable other droplet ejecting section.
