摘要:
A method for splitting a droplet into two or more droplets includes providing a starting droplet on a surface comprising an array of electrodes and a substantially co-planar array of reference elements. The electrode array comprises at least three electrodes comprising a first outer electrode, a medial electrode adjacent to the first outer electrode, and a second outer electrode adjacent to medial electrode. The starting droplet is initially disposed on at least one of the three electrodes and at least partially overlaps at least one other of the three electrodes. The method further includes activating each of the three electrodes to spread the starting droplet across the three electrodes, and de-activating the medial electrode to split the starting droplet into first and second split droplets. The first split droplet is thereby disposed on the first outer electrode and the second split droplet is disposed on the second outer electrode.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a display having bank portions (112a, 112b) between functional layers formed on electrodes (111) by forming the bank portions (112a, 112b) around the electrodes (111) provided on a base (2). A functional layer is formed on each electrode (111) by ejecting a composition from nozzles. The method is characterized in that while a nozzle array composed of nozzles and inclined with respect to the direction of the horizontal scanning is scanned over the base (2), the droplet (110c1) of the composition first ejected for each functional layer is brought into contact with at least part of the bank portions (112a, 112b). Thus, uneven coating of the functional layer of each pixel electrode is prevented, thereby providing a display excellent in display quality and its manufacturing method.

A nozzle plate unit (100) that is designed to control an ejecting direction of ink droplets by using an electro-wetting phenomenon, an inkjet print head with the same, and a method of manufacturing the nozzle plate unit are provided. The nozzle plate unit includes at least one penetration nozzle (150), an electrode (120) divided into at least two segments (120a,120b,120c,120d) formed along an inner circumference defining the nozzle, and a hydrophobic insulating layer (140) divided into at least two segments (140a,140b,140c,140d) formed on surfaces of the segments of the electrode. When a voltage is applied between respective segments of the electrode and the fluid, a contacting angle of the fluid with the respective segments of the hydrophobic insulating layer is varied by an electro-wetting phenomenon, thereby deflecting an ejecting direction of the fluid ejected through the nozzle. The inkjet print head includes a passage plate (210,220) including an ink passage having a plurality of ink chambers (204) in which ink to be ejected is filled, an actuator (300) providing ejecting force of the ink filled in the plurality of ink chambers, and the nozzle plate unit attached to the passage plate. Accordingly, the ejecting direction of ink droplets ejected through the nozzle can be controlled in various directions and thus the image can be printed at higher DPI even when a print head with a low CPI is used.

A liquid droplet transporting apparatus includes a first electrode (22) which is arranged on a surface of a substrate (10a), a second electrode (23) which is arranged apart from the first electrode on the surface of the substrate, an insulating layer (24) which is arranged to cover each of the first electrode and the second electrode, and a liquid repellent property on a surface of the insulating layer changes according to an electric potential difference between the electrode and an electroconductive liquid droplet on the surface, and a third electrode (124) which cooperates with the second electrode to detect the liquid droplet on the second electrode. Consequently, it is possible to transport a liquid droplet between two areas, and also to detect as to in which area out of the two areas, the liquid droplet exists.
