LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND LIQUID EJECTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603979 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND LIQUID EJECTION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The liquid ejection head and apparatus described in the patent application are designed to efficiently eject liquids with high viscosity at high frequencies. This is achieved by maintaining a specific relationship between the thickness of the ejection port plate, the distance from the electrothermal conversion element to the outermost surface of the ejection port plate, and the height of an air bubble.

  • The relationship L≤H−0.4D is crucial for efficient liquid ejection.
  • The technology is optimized for liquids with a viscosity of 2.5 cp or above.
  • High-frequency liquid ejection is made possible by the design of the ejection head and apparatus.
