Liquid Discharge Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109313 titled 'Liquid Discharge Apparatus
Simplified Explanation
The liquid discharge apparatus described in the patent application includes a substrate unit, a compressor for sending out compressed air, and a tube. The substrate unit consists of a first drive circuit, a second drive circuit, and a wiring substrate with rigid and flexible members. The first and second rigid members, each with a drive circuit, are positioned facing each other on the substrate. The compressor supplies compressed air to the region where the front surfaces of the first and second rigid members face each other.
- Substrate unit with first and second drive circuits
- Compressor for supplying compressed air
- Rigid and flexible members on wiring substrate
- First and second rigid members positioned facing each other
- Compressed air supplied to region between front surfaces of rigid members
