Publication number: 20120003902Abstract: In the method for manufacturing a droplet discharge head, a mold 100, including a convexity portion having convexities which have the substantially same shape as a liquid chamber including pressure chambers 21 and nozzle sections 21b, is prepared. A slurry SL is filled into the mold 100, and the mold 100 is placed on a porous plate 120. A solvent included in the slurry permeates into fine pores of the porous plate. Accordingly, the slurry is dried, so that a compact-after-dried 110 is formed. Thereafter, a vibration plate, and the like are joined to the compact, and the compact is fired. Further, piezoelectric elements, and the like are formed on the pressure chambers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2011Publication date: January 5, 2012Applicant: NGK Insulators, Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi MASE, Hidehiko Tanaka, Hideki Shimizu
