Mobile electronic equipment has a frame portion 8 which is formed in such a manner that the midsection of a side thereof is located at the longest distance from the surface of the liquid crystal display. Since the arched configuration can suppress deformation of the enclosure in comparison with the linear configuration as seen in arched structure of bridges, even when external pressure is applied onto the liquid crystal cover panel 2 or the enclosure cover 3, the enclosure cover 3, especially the midsection of the frame portion on that side resists deformation, and even when the frame portion of the enclosure cover or the liquid crystal display cover panel 2 comes in contact with the liquid crystal display due to deformation, a load applied onto the liquid crystal display upon contact may be reduced and cracks in the liquid crystal display may be prevented.

An ink jet recording head is provided with a plurality of ink pathways and a plurality of ejection outlets in communication with the ink pathways. The ink jet recording head includes (a) a support member provided with a plurality of energy generating elements capable of generating energy to be utilized for ejecting ink through the ejection outlets, the energy generating elements being disposed in accordance with the ejection outlets; (b) a grooved top plate provided with a plurality of grooves to establish the ink pathways in accordance with the energy generating elements of the support member; and (c) a protruded member which is protruded above the surface of the grooved top plate. An ink cartridge includes the ink jet recording head and an ink container. An ink jet recording apparatus includes a control mechanism and the ink cartridge.
摘要:
A container for containing printing liquid for supplying to an ink jet head for an ink jet recording apparatus. The container includes first and second chambers, with the first chamber containing negative pressure producing material and having an air vent communicating with ambient air and a supply port for supplying printing liquid to the ink jet head. The second chamber communicates with the first chamber via a communication port and provides a printing liquid reservoir for the first chamber. In an area adjacent a wall extending from the communication port, a capillary force provided by the negative pressure producing material decreases in a direction perpendicular to and towards that wall at least adjacent a part of the communication port which is uppermost when the container is in use.
摘要:
An ink leaking from an atmosphere communication hole of a waste ink container is guided to an end portion of the waste ink container. Electrodes are provided for shutting off an ink guide path. By this, the ink leaking through the atmosphere communication hole is inherently guided into the end portion of the container to come into contact with both of the electrodes. By contacting of the ink, a resistance value between the electrodes is varied to permit detection of ink leakage based on the variation of the resistance value. As a result, ink leakage from a waste ink container employed in an ink-jet printer or so forth can be certainly detected. Also, sealing ability of the waste ink container can be enhanced.
