摘要： An inkjet recording apparatus includes K ejection electrodes and K gate electrodes corresponding to the K ejection electrodes, respectively, which are located at a distance from the K ejection electrodes. The K gate electrodes are divided into M blocks each having N gate electrodes electrically connected in common. A first voltage pulse is applied to a selected one of N groups each formed by electrically connecting an i.sup.th (1.ltoreq.i.ltoreq.N) ejection electrode for each block to each other and a second voltage pulse is applied to a selected one of the M blocks. A voltage difference is generated between a group and a block which are selected from the N groups and the M blocks depending on an input signal, wherein the voltage difference is equal to or greater than a minimum voltage difference which causes ejection of an ejection electrode.

摘要： In an electrostatic inkjet device having a plurality of ejection electrodes, when an ejection electrode is designated as an ejection dot, a potential of the ejection electrode is changed to an ejection level for a first time period. When the ejection electrode is not designated as an ejection dot, the potential of the ejection electrode is changed within a predetermined level different from a ground level such that ejection does not occur at the ejection electrode.

摘要： A capacitance is detected between an ejecting electrode and an opposite electrode by a capacitance detecting circuit with a recording medium placed on the opposite electrode. An electric field strength in the ejecting electrode is calculated by a gap adjustment control circuit based upon the detected capacitance. A motor driving circuit is controlled so that the electric field strength is set to a preset value. A lead screw coupled to the ejecting electrode is rotated by a motor and a gap between the ejecting electrode and the opposite electrode is thereby adjusted. Even if the thickness of a used recording medium changes, the ejecting electric field strength is kept stable and the recording quality is stabilized.

摘要： An electrostatic ink jet recorder of the type controlling charged toner particles contained in ink by using electrophoresis is disclosed. The recorder achieves a miniature and cost-effective configuration by reducing the number of drivers for driving ejection electrodes and auxiliary electrodes. The same amount of toner particles is ejected from all of ejection electrodes despite a scatter in the ejection electrode and a scatter in the position of the ejection electrode relative to auxiliary electrodes and a counter electrode.

摘要： A recording head includes an ink chamber storing ink containing electrified toner particles and having an ejection opening 7 at one end and an ejection electrodes for ejecting the toner particles from the ejection opening. A counter electrode 6 faces the ejection opening. The recording head also includes a toner, concentration detection sensor detects a potential of the ejection opening 7, and a control unit for deciding a detected toner concentration and controlling a voltage to be applied to the ejection electrodes. The surface potential nearby ejection opening or the toner concentration and a voltage applying time are made to previously correspond to each other and are stored in a ROM table. A stable printing quality is obtained by detecting the toner concentration near the ejection opening by the toner concentration detection circuit and controlling a voltage to be applied to the ejection electrodes corresponding to a detected value.
