Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a liquid handling apparatus for carrying out a process of suppressing supply to a surface of a substrate. [Prior Art] When manufacturing a liquid crystal display TFT (Thin Film Transistor) substrate, the glass substrate is subjected to photoresist coating, exposure, development, etching, sensitizer removal, etc. The composition is, for example, a process consisting of a process of supplying a processing liquid to a substrate, a process of cleaning the substrate, and a process of drying the substrate. Each of the processes is carried out by a dedicated device, and each of the substrates is sequentially processed by a transfer means for transporting the substrates. Further, the substrate conveyed by the transport means is transported while being horizontally held, and the substrates placed on the transport means in a horizontal state are sequentially passed through the respective devices, whereby the substrates can be subjected to various processes successively. Here, the substrate of the apparatus for supplying the processing liquid is secondarily carried into the apparatus for cleaning the substrate, and at this time, the processing liquid is also taken out together with the substrate cleaning apparatus. As means for supplying the processing liquid to the substrate in the horizontal state, a method in which a shower device for flowing the processing liquid is disposed on the upper portion of the conveying means and the processing liquid is continuously supplied to the substrate is applied. The treatment liquid that has flowed out of the shower device remains as droplets on the surface of the substrate, and the liquid droplet-shaped treatment liquid is carried out by the next cleaning device. Since the cleaning liquid is used in the cleaning device, when the cleaning liquid is mixed into the processing liquid to be taken out, -4 - 1343842 cannot reuse the cleaning liquid, and the processing liquid needs to be discarded. Therefore, when a large amount of the treatment liquid is taken out by the cleaning device, the treatment liquid is largely consumed and wasted, resulting in a problem that the utilization efficiency of the treatment liquid is deteriorated. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 8-294678 discloses a liquid removal device that removes a roller from a liquid to remove a treatment liquid adhering to the substrate and prevents the treatment liquid from being carried to the next device. In the liquid removing device of the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. 2, 946, the liquid removing roller is disposed at a position separated by a small distance from the substrate conveyed by the conveying means, and the processing liquid adhering to the surface of the substrate is blocked and blocked. The movement. According to the liquid removal device of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 8-294678, the liquid is removed from the treatment liquid by the liquid removal roller, and the ejection force is applied to the treatment liquid. Attached to the liquid to remove the roller. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the attached treatment liquid regularly, which causes a problem of complicated maintenance work. Further, a method of blowing air on the surface of the substrate by means of an air knife or the like which dries the substrate, and blowing the treatment liquid by air pressure has also been proposed. Since the air knife is used, the treatment liquid is blown by the gas, so maintenance work is not required. However, when the treatment liquid is blown by the air knife, it is difficult to uniformly apply the air pressure of the air knife to the surface of the substrate, and the surface of the substrate is partially dried, and unevenness in drying occurs in the portion where the treatment liquid adheres and does not adhere. Therefore, various problems of image unevenness occur in the article as the final liquid crystal display. -5 - 1343842 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to suppress the amount of the treatment liquid to be carried out without using a liquid to remove the roller or the air. [Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve the above problems, the liquid processing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention is a liquid processing A for supplying a processing liquid to a surface of a substrate, and performing surface treatment. In the liquid processing apparatus, the substrate is conveyed in a horizontal direction, and the liquid supply means supplies the processing liquid to the entire substrate conveyed by the conveying means, and the liquid ejecting means is disposed in the liquid storage means. Between the liquid supply means and the transfer port of the liquid processing apparatus, the liquid to be deposited on the surface of the substrate is removed by ejecting the processing liquid from the obliquely upward direction to the opposite direction of the substrate transfer direction. In the liquid processing apparatus according to the first aspect of the invention, the liquid to be treated on the surface of the substrate by the liquid supply means is removed, and the hydraulic pressure of the processing liquid sprayed by the liquid ejecting means is removed by the surface of the substrate. It is possible to suppress the treatment liquid from being taken out. The introduction of the treatment liquid retained on the surface of the substrate does not require the use of a liquid to remove the roller or the air, but the treatment liquid of the same liquid is used, so that maintenance work is not required. Further, when the treatment liquid is removed using the treatment liquid (non-air), the surface of the substrate is in a state in which the liquid film is formed in a comprehensive manner, and the surface of the substrate does not need to be dried, and the wet state can be maintained at all times. Therefore, the surface of the substrate is not dried, the unattached portion of the treatment liquid disappears, and there is no problem of streaks (unevenness). In addition, the processing direction of the substrate is opposite to the direction in which the processing liquid is ejected. • The processing liquid of the jetting pressure of the liquid is in the opposite direction, and the conveying direction is opposite to the degree of the conveying direction. But from the suppression band is good. If the lifting force is applied, the film is made thin. In the surface supply processing, the following method is used. The liquid in the spray device 〇1 is transported in the direction in which the liquid crystal is conveyed. Therefore, the energy of the transport speed of the substrate is added to the treatment. Therefore, it is possible to make the treatment liquid which is in the form of droplets stronger. Therefore, the droplets on the surface of the substrate can be removed more efficiently. Here, the phase in which the opposite direction is not limited to the angle of 180 degrees can be the opposite direction to the direction of the conveyance. When the injection direction of the processing liquid of the substrate is inclined, the hydraulic pressure acting on the treatment liquid is somewhat lower than that in the case of 1880. However, when the processing liquid is ejected in the opposite direction to the φ tilt, since the two processing liquids of the substrate can be effectively removed, the liquid droplets on the surface of the substrate can be effectively removed, and when the liquid is caused to flow by the hydraulic pressure of the ejected processing liquid, In the state in which the liquid film is formed on the surface of the substrate, the thickness of the liquid film is as thin as possible as the pressure of the liquid to be sprayed, and the substrate can be removed by removing the remaining treatment liquid. The liquid on the surface is preferably such that the ejection pressure of the treatment liquid is as high as possible. Further, as a liquid supply means, from the viewpoint of surface treatment of the entire liquid on the surface of the substrate, for example, it can be used in a plurality of places on the upper portion of the liquid processing apparatus, whereby the shower device is applied to the surface of the substrate. The liquid processing apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention is the hair processing apparatus according to the invention, wherein the ejection port of the liquid ejecting apparatus is formed into a slit shape, and the slit is oriented in a direction orthogonal to the base direction. The aforementioned liquid ejecting means is configured. Since the injection port is formed into a slit shape, the sprayed 1343842 treatment liquid can be shut off, so that the high injection pressure can be applied to the liquid retention. In the case where the substrate is transported at a distance of 180 degrees from the substrate, the slits are arranged to be transported to the substrate. The transport direction of the pair of substrates is inclined in the opposite direction from the direction in which the processing liquid is ejected in the opposite direction. Further, the slit is basically formed to be straight and non-linear, and the processing liquid is discharged to the most upstream side in the conveying direction of the substrate by using the slit point formed on the parabola of the curved slit as a curved shape. Also, it may not be a parabola or a curved slit. In the liquid processing apparatus of the liquid processing apparatus according to the third aspect of the present invention, the liquid supply means is disposed at a lower portion of the liquid processing apparatus, and is provided with a liquid for recovering the processing liquid and recovering the liquid by the processing liquid recovery means. The supply means is reused with the aforementioned liquid ejecting means. Almost all of the lower portion of the processing liquid which is supplied to the substrate at a time when a large amount of the processing liquid disposed in the upper portion of the liquid processing apparatus is supplied to the substrate flows. Such a treatment liquid is recirculated to the liquid ejecting means to circulate the treatment liquid. Thereby, the waste of the treatment liquid can be eliminated, and the direction in which the treatment liquid can be left in the opposite direction to the surface of the substrate is orthogonal, and in the case where the slit is arranged in the linear gap. However, also the gap. For example, the top of the substrate may be applied with a circular or elliptical shape from the three sides of the substrate, and the liquid is ejected by the means of the invention 1 or 2, and the processing liquid recovery means in the liquid processing apparatus, Before the treatment liquid is circulated, the treatment liquid is supplied to the liquid supply means, and the treatment liquid is used in addition to the surface treatment liquid to return to the liquid treatment apparatus to return to the liquid supply means. 1343842 liquid. In order to circulate the treatment liquid, a treatment liquid recovery means is provided in the lower portion of the apparatus, and the recovered treatment liquid is returned to the liquid supply means and the liquid injection means. As means for circulating the treatment liquid, for example, pumping can be applied. The treatment liquid is suitably used for any development liquid for developing a development liquid for a photosensitive agent to be exposed, an etching liquid for performing an etching treatment, or a photosensitive liquid stripping liquid for removing a photosensitive agent. That is, the liquid processing apparatus of the present invention is applied to any of a developing device, an etching device, or a sensitizer peeling device. Further, in the method for producing a liquid crystal display according to the invention of the fourth aspect of the invention, the liquid crystal display is manufactured by using the liquid processing apparatus according to the first aspect of the invention, and processing the surface of the substrate. Since the liquid processing apparatus can be applied to a developing device, an etching device, a sensitizer peeling device, etc., it is possible to manufacture a liquid crystal display using a substrate which has been liquid-treated by these respective devices. [Effect of the Invention] In the present invention, the treatment liquid sprayed on the substrate is discharged, and the retained treatment liquid is pushed out to the outside of the substrate. Therefore, the discharge of the treatment liquid can be suppressed. Further, since the remaining treatment liquid is pushed out to the outside of the substrate by the same treatment liquid as the liquid, it is not necessary to perform maintenance work due to contamination by the treatment liquid, and the substrate can be maintained in a wet state at all times. Therefore, the generation of streaks can be prevented. [Embodiment] -9-1343842 The developing liquid sprayed by the slit nozzle 60 collides with the developing liquid which is stagnated on the substrate w by a predetermined hydraulic pressure. Then, the energy is applied to the developing liquid retained on the substrate W to cause a flow 'to be pushed out to the outside of the substrate W together with the ejected developing liquid. Here, the surface w s of the substrate w is maintained in a state of being constantly wetted by the ejection of the developing liquid on the substrate w, and the liquid film is formed on the surface ws. Since the developing liquid is a liquid, the 'surface ws is constantly wetted by the liquid adhesion force', and the surface w s does not dry. Further, the higher the ejection pressure, the more the developer liquid remaining in the substrate w can be removed, so that the thickness of the liquid film can be made thinner, and the discharge of the developing liquid can be further suppressed. Further, the same liquid is used for the developing liquid sprayed from the slit nozzle 60 and the developing liquid supplied from the shower device 50. The liquid receiving portion 7A is a receiving portion for receiving a developing liquid that overflows from the shower device 50 to the substrate W or a developing liquid that is ejected from the substrate W by the developing liquid that is ejected from the slit nozzle 60. Therefore, the liquid receiving portion 70 is disposed at a lower portion of the developing chamber 30. The liquid receiving portion 70 has a meander shape, and the liquid recovery pipe 7 1 is coupled to the apex of the crucible. In FIG. 2, in order to achieve the tightening of the liquid receiving portion 70, the liquid receiving portion 70 may be disposed at two locations. However, the liquid receiving portion 70 may be one. The two liquids are connected to the apex of the two liquid receiving portions 70. The pipe 71 is joined in the middle to be connected to the liquid recovery pipe 80 by one liquid recovery pipe 7 1 '. The liquid recovery mechanism 80 is a mechanism for reusing the used developing solution. The liquid recovery mechanism 80 is disposed in the lower portion of the developing chamber 30, and functions as a storage tank -13 - 1343842 for storing the developing liquid supplied from the liquid recovery pipe 7 1 . In the liquid recovery mechanism 8 Ο, the two piping device circulation pipes 8 1 to which the shower circulation pipe 8 . 1 and the slit nozzle circulation pipe 82 are connected are connected to the shower device f via the pump Ρ 1 . When the pumping pressure of the pump P is applied, the developing liquid stored in the liquid mechanism 80 is sent to the shower device 50, and the developing liquid which can be used as the second substrate W can be reused. Further, the slit nozzle circulation pipe 82 is connected to the nozzle 60 via the pump P2. Therefore, when the pumping pressure of the pump P2 is applied, the developing liquid of the liquid recovery mechanism 80 is sent to the slit nozzle 60, and the developing liquid for removing the developing liquid retained on the substrate W is again used here. Basically, since the substrate W is carried into the developing chamber 30 without being attached to the impurity, the purity of the developing liquid is lowered even if the developing liquid is circulated. However, since the substrate W is not attached with impurities, impurities may be attached to the substrate, and the recovery mechanism 80 may be provided with a filter to be developed by the filter to the shower device 50 or the slit nozzle 60. In the above-described manner, the substrate W in which the substrate W becomes the liquid liquid and the surface WS becomes the liquid film is removed from the carry-out port, and the water is replaced by the water replacement process D-2 of the next process. Since the liquid crystal to the substrate D of the water replacement process D-2 is removed, it is possible to take out the image liquid. Further, since it is not necessary to use a liquid removing roller to remove the liquid droplets, it is not necessary to perform maintenance work, and it is possible to remove the liquid droplets without blowing air, so that the surface of the substrate can be often used for the device.
