    摘要: A thermal inkjet printhead with heater elements disposed in respective bubble forming chambers for heating a water-based printing fluid to form a gas bubble for ejecting a drop of the printing fluid from the nozzle. The heater is separated from the nozzle by less than 5 μm at their closest points and the nozzle length is less than 5 μm. The volume of liquid between the heater and the nozzle determines the inertia of the liquid and its acceleration in response to bubble formation. Moving the heater closer to the nozzle reduces the inertia of the liquid and increases its acceleration, so a lower bubble impulse is needed to eject a drop. This allows the printhead to use smaller heater elements with lower power requirements. Viscous drag in the nozzle reduces the momentum of fluid flowing through the nozzle. The viscous drag increases as the nozzle length (in the direction of fluid flow) increases. By reducing the nozzle length, a lower bubble impulse is needed to eject a drop. This also allows the printhead to use smaller heater elements with lower power requirements.

    摘要: A thermal inkjet printhead with generally planar heater elements disposed in respective bubble forming chambers such that they are bonded on one side to the chamber so that the other side faces into the chamber. Each heater element receives an energizing pulse to heat ejectable liquid above its boiling point to form a gas bubble on the side facing into the chamber, whereby the gas bubble causes the ejection of a drop of the ejectable liquid from the nozzle. The chamber has a dielectric layer proximate the side of the heater element bonded to the chamber. The dielectric layer has a thermal product less than 1495 Jm−2K−1s−1/2, the thermal product being (ρCk)1/2, where ρ is the density of the layer, C is specific heat of the layer and k is thermal conductivity of the layer. The present invention reduces the drop ejection energy and the heat dissipation into the printhead IC by improving the thermal isolation between the heater and the substrate.

    摘要: A thermal inkjet printhead with heater elements disposed in respective bubble forming chambers for heating part of the ejectable liquid above its boiling point to form a gas bubble that causes the ejection of a drop of the ejectable liquid from the nozzle, wherein, the heater is separated from the nozzle by less than 5 μm at their closest points; the nozzle length is less than 5 μm; and the ejectable liquid has a viscosity less than 5 cP. The volume of liquid between the heater and the nozzle determines the inertia of the liquid and its acceleration in response to bubble formation. Moving the heater closer to the nozzle reduces the inertia of the liquid and increases its acceleration, so a lower bubble impulse is needed to eject a drop. This allows the printhead to use smaller heater elements with lower power requirements. Viscous drag in the nozzle reduces the momentum of fluid flowing through the nozzle. The viscous drag increases as the nozzle length (in the direction of fluid flow) increases. By reducing the nozzle length, a lower bubble impulse is needed to eject a drop. This also allows the printhead to use smaller heater elements with lower power requirements.

    摘要: A thermal inkjet printhead with heater elements disposed in respective bubble forming chambers whereby each heater element is configured for receiving an energizing pulse to form a gas bubble in an ejectable liquid that causes the ejection of a drop of the ejectable liquid from the nozzle. The energizing pulse has duration less than 1.5 micro-seconds (μs) and the nozzles are “self cooling”, in the sense that in the sense that the only heat removal required by the chip is the heat removed by ejected droplets. The printhead is designed for operation with reduced pulse duration, so the amount of heat that diffuses into the liquid and the substrate prior to nucleation of the vapor bubble is reduced. This facilitates self cooling operation.
