摘要： To supply electromotive force to a solid semiconductor element in an ink tank in a non-contact and stable manner. An electromagnetic apparatus (a standstill electromotive force supply unit) is placed at a home position HP. When a carriage is at a standstill at this home position HP, if the electromagnetic apparatus is AC-driven, magnetic properties of both ends (magnetic poles) continue to change mutually and penetrate a solid semiconductor element in the ink tank on the carriage so that a constantly changing magnetic flux is generated. Electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction on a coil of the solid semiconductor element. In addition, if the carriage reciprocates during printing operation, the coil L of the solid semiconductor element crosses inside the magnetic flux due to a plurality of permanent magnets (a movement time electromotive force supply unit) arranged on a carrier path (range of movement), and so the electromotive force is generated on the coil by electromagnetic induction. Such electromotive force is converted into energy for activating and operating the solid semiconductor element.

摘要： A method for manufacturing an ink jet head. In a thick film laminating step, a patterning layer corresponding to the configuration of ink flow paths on a member provided with a pressure generating source is formed, and an inorganic material layer is overcoated on the patterning layer to form an ink discharge surface. A patterned image of a predetermined ink discharge port configuration is irradiated by a laser capable of completing a sublimate ablation process before the laser beams are dispersed in a work piece as thermal energy. Subsequently, the sublimate ablation process is executed on ink discharge ports almost simultaneously from the inorganic material layer on the ink discharge side up to the interior of the thickness of the patterning layer. The patterning layer is removed after processing the ink discharge ports.
