Liquid Discharge Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109301 titled 'Liquid Discharge Apparatus
Simplified Explanation
The liquid discharge apparatus described in the abstract includes a substrate unit with a wiring substrate containing rigid and flexible members, as well as connectors positioned on different rigid members. The size of the rigid members is smaller than the print head when viewed from the connectors.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- The apparatus includes a wiring substrate with rigid and flexible members. - Connectors are positioned on different rigid members. - The size of the rigid members is smaller than the print head when viewed from the connectors.
- Potential applications of this technology:
- Inkjet printers - 3D printers - Medical devices
- Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved precision in liquid discharge - Enhanced durability of the apparatus - Simplified assembly process
- Benefits of this technology:
- Higher printing quality - Increased efficiency in liquid discharge - Cost-effective manufacturing process
- Potential commercial applications of this technology:
- Printing industry - Medical equipment manufacturing - Electronics industry
- Possible prior art:
- Similar liquid discharge apparatus with rigid and flexible members - Patents related to wiring substrates in printing devices
Questions:
1. How does the size of the rigid members impact the overall performance of the liquid discharge apparatus? 2. Are there any specific industries that would benefit the most from this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
there is provided a liquid discharge apparatus including a substrate unit, and includes a wiring substrate having a plurality of rigid members and flexible member, in which a first rigid member, and a second rigid member are positioned facing each other, a third rigid member laminated on a first surface of a third region of the flexible member is positioned such that a normal direction of a third front surface intersects a normal direction of a first front surface and a second front surface, the second connector is provided on a fourth rigid member laminated on a second surface of a third region of the flexible member, and a size of the third rigid member and a fourth rigid member is smaller than a size of the print head when a first discharge section is viewed from the first connector.
