LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109311 titled 'LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The liquid discharge apparatus described in the patent application includes a substrate unit with drive circuits, cooling fan, wiring substrate, and opening member. The cooling fan generates an air flow to cool the coils on the front surfaces of the rigid members, which are exposed through the openings in the opening member.
