Described are a method and system for dispensing a fluid. A fluid-dispensing device includes a substrate and a plurality of nozzles formed in the substrate. Each nozzle has an open-ended tip and a fluid-conducting channel between the tip and a source of fluid. A non-conducting spacer is on the substrate and electrically isolates a gate electrode from the substrate. The gate electrode is located adjacent to the tip of at least one of the nozzles to effect dispensing of the fluid in that nozzle in response to a voltage applied between the gate electrode and the nozzle or fluid in the nozzle. In one embodiment, the gate electrode includes a plurality of individually addressable gate electrodes used for selectively actuating nozzles.

A nozzle guard (80) for an ink jet printhead includes a body member (82) mountable on a substrate (16) which carries a nozzle array (14). The body member defines a plurality of passages (84) through it such that, in use, each passage (84) is in register with a nozzle opening of one of the nozzles of the array (14). The body member (22) further defines fluid inlet openings (88) for directing fluid through the passages (84), from an inlet end of the passages (84), for inhibiting the build up of foreign particles on the nozzle (14).

A liquid ejecting head of the invention has ink ejected with the electrostatic force, with a structure having a partition wall separating the flow channel into an inflow region and an outflow region. The wall passing by the positions of the ejecting orifices runs in a serpentine path to traverse the ink flow space in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the ink flow. The partition wall is produced by, first, applying a specified film thickness of photoresist on a substrate, second pressing a molding substrate onto a surface of the applied film of the photoresist to form a ridge-like projections which is to be a projecting solution guides, third forming the wall by etching the patterned photoresist film using a mask having a pattern of lines.
