摘要： An inkjet recording head includes nozzles arrayed in one direction and ink droplet ejecting devices formed in the respective nozzles. Each nozzle has a height difference in a depthwise direction on a side on which ink droplets are ejected and an ink liquid surface is formed between both edges forming the height difference. An inkjet printer uses this inkjet recording head. The inkjet recording head can eject ink obliquely to the ejection surface for correcting recording pitches at joining portions and preventing the periphery of the nozzles from being contaminated by the ink splashed back from image receiving paper. The ejection angle and the ejecting direction can also be suitably selected and adjusted.

摘要： A display element for displaying an image with an ink has an transparent substrate having a void space for containing the ink therein to form a display section. The space has the first opening and the second opening opposing to each other. The first opening communicates with an atmosphere via an atmosphere communicating passage. The second opening allows the ink to introduce to the space of the image display section from an ink supply passage. The atmosphere communicating passage is controlled to close by a sealing member, whereby the movement of the ink into the space is controlled. The plural display elements are arranged to form a display unit and the plural display units are arranged in a matrix to form an image display device for displaying an image with the ink.
