    摘要: An element substrate capable of obtaining a high-quality printed image for a long period. The element substrate has a plurality of heaters, driving elements each of which is provided in correspondence with each of the plurality of heaters to selectively drive the plurality of heaters, an input terminal to receive a driving mode selection signal, and a block selection circuit which time-divisionally drives, in blocks of different timings, heaters in each of a plurality of groups each including a predetermined number of heaters and driving elements. The element substrate includes a logic circuit which time-divisionally drives the heaters in the group when the selection signal input from the input terminal is a signal for selecting a first driving mode, and simultaneously drives all heaters in the group when the selection signal is a signal for selecting a second driving mode.

    摘要: This invention relates to an element substrate capable of confirming an electrical connection status before a printhead malfunctions. The element substrate is a substrate for a printhead, which is detachable from a printing apparatus and includes a plurality of printing elements, a logical circuit for controlling the printing elements, and a voltage application terminal for applying a driving voltage to drive the printing elements. The logical circuit is driven at a voltage lower than the driving voltage. The element substrate includes a connection status output circuit which outputs a signal reflecting the electrical connection status between the printhead and the printing apparatus on the basis of the driving voltage.

    摘要: Plural electrothermal transducers (heaters) belonging to each of blocks having different driving timings are constituted as one group and are connected to a common interconnecting wiring in units of one group. Plural lines are connected to the common wiring such that the plural lines are extended to return with respect to the heaters and are each arranged to extend in an adjacent or sandwiched relation to the heaters. A printhead substrate, a printhead, and a printing apparatus can be provided which can realize higher quality of a printed image and a higher printing speed by arraying the heaters at a higher density while ensuring a sufficient area for arrangement of each of the heaters.

    摘要: An object of this invention is to prevent an increase in energy applied to a heating element and prolong the service life of a printhead even when the temperature of the printing element having a negative temperature coefficient rises and the resistance of the heating element decreases upon controlling a switching element for controlling a current flowing through the heating element so as to make energy as constant as possible. For this purpose, a printhead having a plurality of heating elements connected to a common power supply comprises: a switching element which is series-connected to the heating element and controls driving of the heating element at a voltage applied to a control terminal; a constant voltage source using a common power supply as a reference; a wiring resistance generated at a connection wiring line serial-connected to the heating element; and a voltage control circuit which controls to make the potential difference between both ends of the wiring resistance equal to the voltage of the constant voltage source when driving the heating element. Then, a current flowing through the heating element is made constant without any influence of the temperature of the heating element.
