A liquid drop discharge device has a liquid drop discharge means for discharging liquid drops containing a pattern forming material to a surface, and has an energy beam irradiation means for emitting an energy beam to boundaries between liquid drops, landed on the surface at different timings, in order to cause the boundary regions between the liquid drops to flow. The liquid drop discharge device can form a pattern having an accurately control shape. Le dispositif de décharge de gouttes de liquide selon l'invention comporte un moyen de décharge de gouttes de liquide pour décharger des gouttes de liquide contenant un matériau de formation de motif sur une surface, et un moyen d'irradiation par un faisceau énergétique pour émettre un faisceau énergétique aux limites entre les gouttes de liquide, déposées sur la surface à des moments différents, de sorte que les zones limitrophes entre les gouttes de liquide s'écoulent. Ce dispositif de décharge de gouttes de liquide peut former un motif présentant une forme de contrôle précise.
