A head of an inkjet printer is formed by bonding of a heater substrate and a nozzle plate. In order to bond the heater substrate where a heater thin film and a protecting film are vapor-deposited, and the nozzle plate where a nozzle is formed, an intermediate layer is formed by forming a thin film of glass on the heater substrate by vapor-depositing, and the nozzle plate is installed on the heater substrate. SiO2 is formed at an interface between the nozzle plate and the heater thin film due to heating and application of an electric field, and thus the nozzle plate and the heater substrate are bonded with an electrostatic force of SiO2. The nozzle plate and the heater substrate are bonded by using the intermediate layer made of the thin film of glass instead of a general polymer as the bonding layer, thereby preventing swelling of the polymer and isolation of layers of the head occurring due to ink penetration into interfaces of the layers. Moreover, a bonding process is performed in wafer units to improve mass productivity.

An ink cartridge and an ink supplying apparatus of an image forming device, which can prevent a deformation of a needle in an ink cartridge mounting operation, an inflow of external air in a printing operation, and an ink leakage, includes a cartridge body having an ink discharging unit, an inner cap disposed in the ink discharging unit to close or selectively seal the ink discharging unit, and having a needle seating groove formed in a shape corresponding to an end of a needle, and an outer cap disposed outside the ink discharging unit. The inner cap is movable in a direction, which opens or selectively unseals the ink discharging unit, when the needle of a needle assembly is used in a combination with the ink cartridge.

A bonding apparatus and method thereof to bond the bonding portions of an FPC cable to pads of a print head die in order to electrically connect the print head die of an ink jet print head assembly include a stage and a bonding tool. The print head die includes resistive heaters, signal lines connected to the resistive heaters, and electrical pads to connect the signal lines to an outside of the print head die to the FPC cable having conductors having bonding portions facing the pads. The print head die is supported on the stage with the pads facing upward. The bonding tool includes a tip that press bonding portions of the FPC cable against corresponding pads of the print head die placed on the stage, and heats the bonding portions in contact with the pads to bond the bonding portion to the pads. The bonding tool includes a protrusion positioned to align with a position beyond the boundary of the print head die, and that extends lower than the tip, such that, during the bonding operation, the protrusion bends the FPC cable downward. In addition, during the bonding operation, the upper protective film of the FPC cable around the bonding portions are left intact to provide protective layer over the resulting bond, and thus results in less amount of encapsulation over the bond.

An ink cartridge includes a residual ink sensing unit having a simple structure of an upper electrode plate and a lower electrode plate to accurately detect a capacitance between the upper and lower electrode plate. Therefore, data of a remaining amount of ink is reliably measured, there is less possibility that an ink bag is damaged when the residual ink sensing unit is installed in the ink bag, and damage to the ink cartridge and defective printing due to unstable supply of ink and the missing of the time for replacing the ink cartridge are prevented.

An ink cartridge includes a body divided into an ink chamber into which ink is filled and a collecting chamber collecting excess remaining ink after ink is ejected, an ink supply unit formed on a lower portion of the body to receive the ink from the ink chamber and to discharge the excess remaining ink to the collecting chamber after the ink is ejected, and a printhead coupled to a lower portion of the ink supply unit to eject the ink. The ink supply unit is divided into a supply port to receive the ink from the ink chamber and a collection port to receive the excess remaining ink after the ink is ejected through the printhead and to discharge the excess remaining ink to the collecting chamber, and the printhead faces only the collection port and receives ink from the supply port at one side adjacent to the supply port, so that air bubbles generated by the printhead are gathered only in the collection port.

An array printhead and an inkjet image forming device having the same. The array printhead includes a first member, a second member, and a third member. The first through third members sequentially overlap and couple to each other. The first member supplies ink of different colors to the second member and the second member separately receives the ink of different colors supplied from the first member and allows the ink to flow to the third member. The third member is mounted with a plurality of head chips on a lower surface thereof and the head chips have nozzles ejecting ink and forming a plurality of nozzle lines. The ink of different colors is supplied to the nozzle lines, respectively.

An ink-jet cartridge includes a cartridge body forming an ink reservoir, a standpipe coupled to one side of the ink reservoir, a printhead formed under an ink supply passage formed by the standpipe, through which ink from the ink reservoir is ejected onto a printing medium in a droplet shape, and a filter which covers a top portion of the standpipe. The filter is formed in a convex shape protruding toward the printhead. Ink particles and bubbles flowing from the ink reservoir to the printhead are filtered out, bubbles which may flow from the printhead to the ink reservoir, move to edges of the filter, and the ink is smoothly supplied to the printhead.
