An apparatus and method for projecting a pattern includes a light source for emitting a laser; an illuminating unit which illuminates a mask on which a pattern is formed with the laser emitted from the light source and formed in a particular shape; a holder which holds the mask; an optical lens unit which projects the pattern formed on the mask onto a surface of a substrate by the laser illuminated on the mask; and a table which mounts the substrate and moves in at least one direction.
