LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND METHOD OF INSPECTING THE LIQUID EJECTION HEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481165 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND METHOD OF INSPECTING THE LIQUID EJECTION HEAD

Simplified Explanation

The liquid ejection head described in the patent application includes a first substrate with a recessed portion, a second substrate, an energy generating element for ejecting liquid, and an electrode connected to the energy generating element. The design features specific placements and inclinations of these components for optimal functionality.

  • The energy generating element is placed in the recessed portion of the first substrate and on the surface of the second substrate facing the recessed portion.
  • An electrode is formed in an end portion of the energy generating element.
  • A side surface of the recessed portion close to the electrode is inclined with respect to the joint surface between the first and second substrates.
  • The end portion of the energy generating element, the end portion of the joint surface close to the electrode, and the end portion of the bottom surface of the recessed portion close to the electrode are located in sequence from the middle of the energy generating element.

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be used in inkjet printers, 3D printers, and other devices that require precise liquid ejection capabilities.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficient and accurate liquid ejection by optimizing the placement and orientation of the energy generating element and electrode within the liquid ejection head.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

A liquid ejection head includes a first substrate having a recessed portion, and a second substrate. An energy generating element that generates energy to eject liquid is in the recessed portion and is placed on a surface of the second substrate that faces the recessed portion. An electrode electrically connected to the energy generating element is formed in an end portion of the energy generating element. Among recessed portion side surfaces, a side surface of the recessed portion close to the electrode is inclined with respect to a joint surface between the first substrate and the second substrate. The end portion of the energy generating element close to the electrode, an end portion of the joint surface close to the electrode, and an end portion of a bottom surface of the recessed portion close to the electrode are located in sequence from a middle of the energy generating element.
