摘要:
An ink-jet printhead and a manufacturing method thereof include a substrate on which an ink chamber having a predetermined volume is formed, a passage for supplying ink to the ink chamber which is formed on a bottom of the ink chamber, a nozzle plate which includes a nozzle corresponding to a center of the ink chamber and at least two insulating layers formed on the substrate, a bubble guide formed inside the nozzle plate and extending from the nozzle into the ink chamber, and a heater which surrounds the nozzle and is disposed between the two insulating layers. A hydrophobic coating layer is formed on a surface of a uppermost layer of the nozzle plate, and a droplet ejecting portion that has a diameter smaller than that of the nozzle of the nozzle plate and is disposed on the same axis as the nozzle, is formed in the hydrophobic coating layer. The nozzle plate is prevented from becoming wet due to ink, stability of an ink spray and a consecutive spray performance are improved, and thus a printing quality and a printing performance of the ink-jet printhead are generally improved.

An ink-jet printhead includes a substrate on which an ink chamber is formed, and a nozzle plate to cover the ink chamber, having a nozzle through which ink droplets are ejected from the ink chamber, and formed of a stack of a multi-layer insulating layer. The ink-jet printhead also includes a heater buried in the nozzle plate to surround the nozzle, an interconnection layer buried in the nozzle plate to electrically connect to the heater, and a coating layer formed of photoresist on the nozzle plate and having a through hole-type droplet guide connected to the nozzle of the nozzle plate. The droplet guide is formed through the coating layer, which has a sufficient thickness, and enables a meniscus of ink to be rapidly restored and stabilized, and ink droplets to be ejected at a high speed and high frequency. Also, the ink-jet printhead has improved resistance to abrasion and chemicals.

An inkjet printhead includes a substrate having an ink chamber which is filled with ink to be ejected, a nozzle plate formed on the substrate in a position corresponding to the ink chamber, and a heat generating resistor installed in the ink chamber and formed of TiNx, where x ranges from 0.2 to 0.5, to generate ink bubbles in the ink by generating heat.

An inkjet printer head and method of fabricating the same includes a substrate having an ink-feed hole formed at a bottom surface of the substrate, a lower chamber formed at a top surface of the substrate, and a restrictor to fluid communicate between the ink-feed hole and the lower chamber, an oxide layer formed on the substrate, a heater formed on the oxide layer and disposed parallel to the surface of the substrate to cross the lower chamber, a lead electrically connected to the heater, and a nozzle layer disposed on the heater to configure an ink channel together with the lower chamber and having a nozzle at an upper portion of the nozzle layer. The inkjet printer head is capable of improving a thermal efficiency by heating the ink using both surfaces of the heater since the heater is disposed at a center of the ink chamber, and improving characteristics of the heater by making a current density and a current flow uniform since the heater is formed in a straight line without any bent or curved portion.

An inkjet printer head includes a substrate having a manifold and an ink channel to supply ink, a nozzle plate formed on the substrate, a chamber formed between the substrate and the nozzle plate and extending toward the substrate and the nozzle plate, an electrode formed at an interface between the substrate and the nozzle plate and around the chamber, and a heater having both ends extending in contact with the electrode to be suspended on the chamber in direct contact with the ink and to generate bubbles from both surfaces thereof. The inkjet printer head is capable of improving manufacturing process efficiency by omitting a process of separately forming a heater passivation layer, operating the heater at low electric power by omitting the heater passivation layer, improving integrity of a nozzle by lowering a working voltage, and improving reliability in manufacturing processes by locating the suspended heater to be in parallel with the substrate and the electrode.
