摘要:
A printing head has a plurality of heater boards, each of which includes a shift register to which printing data and selection data for selecting preheating pulse signals are applied as inputs, a latch circuit for latching the printing data, a selection-data latch circuit for latching the selection data, a selection circuit for selecting any one of a plurality of preheating pulse signals inputted in accordance with the latched selection data, and a plurality of heating resistors driven by the printing data or preheating pulse signals. Correction data, obtained by a head correcting apparatus, for performing printing at an average density by correcting the characteristics of each heater board is stored in a memory of the printing head. A printing apparatus decides the selection data in accordance with the correction data and sets the selection data in the selection-data latch circuit.

A micromachine comprises at least one heat generating unit arranged on the surface of a substrate, means for retaining liquid having a liquid retaining portion along the heat generating unit, a rotator rotatively supported in the liquid retaining portion of means for retaining liquid. This rotator is structured to rotate by means of the boiling of liquid in the liquid retaining portion by heat generated by the heat generating unit. The micromachine, such a micropump or a micromotor, is incorporated in a liquid jet recording head to cause recording liquid to flow compulsorily in order to remove accumulated bubbles in the liquid paths for the maintenance of good performance of the liquid jet recording head at all times.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to resolve the noise problem with the ink in an ink jet head without changing the substrate manufacturing process for the ink jet head, that is, increasing the cost on the manufacture, and without needs of disposing a noise countermeasure component on the side of the printer main device, or making the design change for the countermeasure. The present invention is characterized in that to prevent malfunction from arising by the noise, a hysteresis circuit l0l to provide different input data threshold values upon rising and falling is provided on an input portion of the signal for a drive control logic system such as a drive input signal for a shift register 404 and a latch circuit 403 on the same substrate as that of the heating elements 40l, the driver 402 and the drive control logic circuit, utilizing a diffusion layer constituting a driver 402.
