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 20240116292 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 of the head allows for efficient liquid ejection and precise control.

  • The liquid ejection head consists of a first substrate with a recessed portion and a second substrate.
  • An energy generating element is positioned in the recessed portion and is connected to an electrode.
  • The side surface of the recessed portion near the electrode is inclined relative to the joint surface between the substrates.
  • The end portions of the energy generating element, joint surface, and bottom surface of the recessed portion near the electrode are aligned sequentially.

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in inkjet printers, 3D printers, and other devices that require precise liquid ejection capabilities.

Problems Solved

This design solves the problem of inefficient liquid ejection and lack of control in traditional liquid ejection heads.

Benefits

The liquid ejection head offers improved precision, efficiency, and control over liquid ejection processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be applied in industries such as printing, manufacturing, and biomedical research for various liquid ejection needs.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing liquid ejection head designs with less precise control and efficiency compared to the described technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing liquid ejection heads in terms of speed and accuracy?

The article does not provide specific details on the speed and accuracy of the liquid ejection head compared to existing technologies.

What materials are used in the construction of the liquid ejection head and how does this impact its durability?

The patent abstract does not mention the materials used in the construction of the liquid ejection head or how they may affect its durability.


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.
