Abstract: A droplet dispensing apparatus includes a droplet ejection device, a microplate holder, a sheet stand, an image capturing device and a controller. The image capturing device is configured to move to a position above the sheet stand. The controller is configured to perform image processing on image data generated from an image captured by the image capturing device when the image capturing device is at the position above the test sheet on the sheet stand, to determine a size of each of test patterns formed by droplets dropped on the test sheet from the array of nozzles. The controller is further configured to generate a data file including the determined size of each of the test patterns. The test sheet colors or discolors at a place receiving a light-transmissive droplet.

Abstract: A liquid discharge head includes a pressure chamber in which liquid can be stored, a diaphragm forming a bottom wall of the pressure chamber and having a nozzle opening through which liquid supplied from the pressure chamber is discharged in a first direction, and a drive element on a lower surface of the diaphragm and configured to change a volume of the pressure chamber. A protective film covers the drive element and having a first opening corresponding in position with the nozzle opening, and a liquid repellent film covers the protective film and the lower surface of the diaphragm within the first opening. The liquid repellent film has an opening aligned with the nozzle opening and has the same diameter as the nozzle opening. The liquid repellent film on the drive element is thinner than the liquid repellent film on the lower surface of the diaphragm within the first opening.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a liquid dispensing apparatus includes a mounting unit configured to hold a liquid discharging apparatus that discharges liquid from nozzles simultaneously by an operation of an actuator. An inspection media placement region is provided on which an inspection medium can be placed to receive the liquid discharged from the liquid discharging apparatus. A controller is configured to control the actuator to vary a volume of the liquid discharged from each nozzle for a nozzle inspection operation. The volume is varied according to a predetermined distance between adjacent nozzles that simultaneously discharge liquid and a predetermined contact angle for a droplet of the liquid when on the inspection medium.
