  • Publication number: 20050062391
    Abstract: In an electron source having an electron emitting member, the electron emitting member is connected to a first or second conductive member by a third conductive member which is connected to the first or second conductive member through an aperture forming in an insulating member, and such aperture has such a shape as to become narrower from an end of the third conductive member toward the other end. Such configuration avoids that the third conductive member is damaged in the connecting portion with the first or second conductive member by the thermal stress therein.

  • Patent number: 6758712
    Abstract: The wirings on an electron source substrate are formed to intersect with each other in a matrix so as to address the electron emission devices on the substrate. First and second wirings intersect with each other on a crossing point. As such a crossing point, an insulating layer is placed between the first and second wirings. To ensure insulation, a plurality of insulating layers are laminated. According to the present invention, a wiring pattern is provided on the substrate with a conductive paste and baking the wiring pattern of the conductive paste to form the first wiring. Subsequently part of the first wiring is coated at the crossing point with an insulating paste and baking the insulating paste to form a first insulating layer. The coating thickness of the insulating layer formed adjacent to sidewalls of the crossing point is substanially equal to the height of the first wiring.

  • Patent number: 5945260
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a liquid jet recording head includes a first process of forming an ink flow passage pattern on a substrate by a resin layer; a second process of forming a covering resin layer to cover a resin layer on the resin layer; a third process of forming an ink discharging port pattern by a material having resistance to an oxygen plasma on the surface of the covering resin layer; a fourth process of forming ink discharging ports by dry etching the resin layer by the application of the oxygen plasma with the ink discharging port pattern as a mask; and a fifth process of eluting the resin layer. This method enables the ink discharging ports to be formed without cutting the substrate and at the same time, the distance between the ink discharging pressure generating elements and the orifices to be controlled rigidly; hence making it possible to manufacture a liquid jet recording head having a stabilized discharging characteristic.
