  • Patent number: 9981473
    Abstract: Provided is a driving device of a liquid droplet discharging head including a driving unit that drives a liquid droplet discharging head which includes plural nozzles, which discharge an ultraviolet ray curable liquid, as liquid droplets, the ultraviolet ray curable liquid being cured by being irradiated with ultraviolet rays, and a control unit that controls the driving unit so that, among the plural nozzles, a draw-in driving signal for drawing the liquid in from a discharge surface of non-discharge nozzles of the liquid droplets is supplied to the non-discharge nozzles while ultraviolet rays from an ultraviolet ray light source, which irradiates liquid droplets discharged from the liquid droplet discharging head with ultraviolet rays, are being emitted.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060152541
    Abstract: The droplet discharging apparatus of the present invention comprises: droplet discharging heads that discharge a discharge fluid in droplet form; multiple head drive elements that drive the droplet discharging heads; and a heat-dissipating block that is thermally connected to the respective head drive elements and which has a discharge fluid flowing conduit therein that cools the head drive elements by making the discharge fluid flow through.
