A liquid crystal dropping apparatus is capable of achieving a high-speed liquid crystal dropping operation and of improving the productivity. The liquid crystal dropping apparatus 10 includes a container 40 for containing a liquid crystal L, a liquid crystal dispensing device 20 for dropping the liquid crystal L contained in the container 40 on a substrate 1, and a stage-moving device 12 for moving the substrate 1 relative to the liquid crystal dispensing device 20. The liquid crystal dispensing device 20 includes a sucking means (suction port 21 and such) for taking out from the container 40 a quantity of the liquid crystal L corresponding to a quantity of the liquid crystal L to be dropped, a temporary storage means (storage chambers 22) for temporarily storing the liquid crystal L taken out from the container 40, and a discharge means (discharge port 23 and such) for discharging the temporarily stored liquid crystal L.
