Abstract:
An ink-jet head having a plurality of nozzles for spraying ink fed by an ink supply comprises a main body, which includes a plurality of compartments (112) provided for each nozzle and charged with ink and a plurality of pressurizing parts for applying pressure to the compartments (112) to make the compartments (112) to spray ink from the nozzles. An individual electrode (109) is provided to drive each pressurizing part. The pressurizing parts each have at least one contact (121) connected with an external source of a signal for controlling the pressurizing part. Thin-film wiring patterns (123) for connecting the individual electrodes (109) and the contacts (121) are formed to facilitate connections with the external source and increase productivity and reliability.

Abstract:
A liquid droplet ejecting method for ejecting a liquid from at least one ejection hole to form the liquid into liquid droplets, the method including: applying a vibration to the liquid in a liquid column resonance-generating liquid chamber, in which the ejection hole is formed, to form a standing wave through liquid column resonance, and ejecting the liquid from the ejection hole, which is formed in a region corresponding to an antinode of the standing wave, to form the liquid into liquid droplets.
Abstract:
A bimorph actuator can maintain a piezoelectric constant if it uses thin piezoelectric film. The bimorph actuator comprises a vibrator (18) defining its surrounding and a piezoelectric film (19) formed on the vibrator (18) and bent in the middle. Even a thin piezoelectric film can achieve a desired piezoelectric constant suitable for low-voltage driving since the piezoelectric film (18) releases residual stresses.
