A liquid droplet discharging method of the present invention forms a
pattern on a substrate by discharging liquid droplets on the substrate
from a discharging head having a liquid droplet discharging device, and
moving the discharging head and the substrate relatively, and includes
the steps of: preparing CAD data specified by a combination of a
plurality of vector data; preparing bitmap data including-an XY-matrix in
which discharging positions of the liquid droplets are specified based on
the CAD data; preparing liquid droplet discharging data for discharging
of the liquid droplets based on the bitmap data; and forming the pattern
by driving the liquid droplet discharging device based on the liquid
droplet discharging data.
