摘要:
This invention is directed to an element substrate including a plurality of print element arrays in which print elements are arranged at different arrayed densities. The element substrate can efficiently transfer data to each print element. The element substrate includes the following arrangement. More specifically, the first print element array having a relatively large number of print elements, and the second print element array which is equal in length to the first print element array and has a relatively small number of print elements are juxtaposed. The element substrate includes one shift register which holds data for driving the print element of the second print element array, and a plurality of shift registers for dividing and holding data for driving the print elements of the first print element array.

This invention is directed to a print element substrate including a plurality of print element arrays in which different numbers of print elements are arranged. The print element substrate can efficiently transfer data to each print element and efficiently lay out circuits. The print element substrate includes the following arrangement. More specifically, a first print element array having a relatively large number of print elements, and a plurality of second print element arrays which are equal in length to the first print element array and smaller in the number of print elements than the first print element array are juxtaposed. The print element substrate includes one shift register which holds data for driving the print elements of the first print element array, and one shift register which holds data for driving the print elements of the second print element arrays.

Measurement accuracy in temperature of a substrate for an ink jet head is improved. A substrate for an ink jet head includes diode sensors and aluminum sensors and as plural kinds of substrate temperature sensing elements, each of which has an output voltage property different from each other. The diode sensors and have a property that the output voltage thereof decreases as temperature increases when a constant current is applied to the corresponding sensor. The aluminum sensors and have a property that the output voltage thereof increases as temperature increases when the constant current is applied to the corresponding sensor.

This invention relates to a printhead element substrate having a plurality of electrothermal transducers and a plurality of switching elements which drive the plurality of electrothermal transducers. The element substrate has a level converter which is shared by adjacent electrothermal transducers and steps up an input driving signal, and a switch circuit which supplies the driving signal output from the level converter to one of the adjacent electrothermal transducers. The switch circuit switches the supply destination of the driving signal in accordance with an external input selection signal.

An ink container for supplying ink to an ink-jet recording element. The ink container includes a container body, a gas liquid separator, and an exhaust chamber cover. The container body includes an ink chamber and an exhaust chamber through which air is exhausted from the ink chamber. The ink chamber is provided with an ink outlet and an ink inlet. The exhaust chamber is provided with a vent. The gas liquid separator is disposed between the ink chamber and the exhaust chamber. The exhaust chamber cover covers the exhaust chamber. When the outside temperature changes, rate of temperature change of the inner surface of the exhaust chamber cover is slower than that of the inner surface of the container body.
