Abstract: An apparatus for a lead-free piezoelectric ink-jet printhead is disclosed. Piezoelectric printheads, while more expensive are favored because they use a wider variety of inks. The piezoelectric printhead includes a diaphragm, a plurality of piezoelectric actuators comprising a lead-free piezoelectric material, at least one nozzle, at least one ink chamber, a top electrode, and a drive circuit. The deflection of the diaphragm on the body chamber contributes to a pressure pulse that is used to eject a drop of liquid from the nozzle. According to an exemplary embodiment, a lead-free piezoelectric printhead operated at smaller thicknesses and significantly higher electric fields is disclosed, along with methods of making such printheads.

Abstract: An apparatus for a piezoelectric ink-jet printhead is disclosed. Piezoelectric printheads, while more expensive are favored because they use a wider variety of inks. The piezoelectric printhead includes a plurality of ink ejectors with a nozzle, an ink chamber, at least one body chamber, at least one diaphragm material, and a top electrode. The diaphragm material consists of a foil with built up piezoelectric material. The deflection of the diaphragm on the body chamber contributes to a pressure pulse that is used to eject a drop of liquid from the nozzle. According to an exemplary embodiment disclosed, a thin-film piezoelectric printhead uses existing low-cost adhesive based jet stack fabrication processed with polymers and metal foil layers and avoids the cost and complexity of a Micro-electrical-mechanical (MEMS) based fabrication system. According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, provided is a thick hybrid film piezoelectric printhead.
