  • Patent number: 8206775
    Abstract: The pattern defect repairing apparatus comprises an application head, a waste ejection board, a waste ejection vessel, a waste ejection board moving stage, a head lifting stage, and an application unit base. The application head comprises an ink-jet head and a head holder. An ink jet head has an ejection nozzle, and is attached to the head holder and able to be moved up and down by the head lifting stage. The waste ejection vessel is provided to the waste ejection board and able to be moved between a waste ejection position and a retreated position by the waste ejection board moving stage.
