| 1. A method for forming a layer using a droplet discharging device that discharges droplets from a plurality of nozzles while
relatively moving a surface in a first direction with respect to a head including the plurality of nozzles, the method for
forming a layer comprising:
a) respectively arranging a first droplet on each of a plurality of reference regions aligned on the surface in an array determined
in the first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and providing a plurality of separate patterns
corresponding to the plurality of reference regions;
b) fixing the plurality of patterns;
c) respectively arranging a second droplet between each of the plurality of reference regions aligned in the second direction
and connecting the plurality of patterns in the second direction, after fixing the plurality of patterns;
d) respectively arranging a third droplet between each of the plurality of reference regions aligned in the first direction
and connecting the plurality of patterns in the first direction, after respectively arranging the second droplet between each
of the plurality of reference regions aligned in the second direction and connecting the plurality of patterns in the second
direction; and
e) arranging a fourth droplet between each of the reference regions aligned in a composite direction of the first direction
and the second direction, after respectively arranging a third droplet between each of the plurality of reference regions
aligned in the first direction and connecting the plurality of patterns in the first direction.
