Patent number: 6776844Abstract: A production device to produce an organic EL display includes a solution in which a light emitting material is dissolved, and a flying electrode to receive solution from the container. A voltage is applied between the tip of the flying electrode and an electrically conductive material of an organic EL substrate to form an electrostatic field, and the tip of the flying electrode and the organic EL substrate are shifted relative to one another in at least one of a perpendicular direction and a horizontal direction. With this arrangement, the solution is formed into a stringy beam from the tip of the flying electrode to it fly onto the organic EL, substrate, thereby injecting the solution into a concavity formed and surrounded by banks on the organic EL substrate, and forming red, green and blue light emitting layers.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2002Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Seiji Yonekura, Yoshinobu Fukano, Mamoru Okano, Yasuo Imanishi, Sukekazu Aratani, Yoshiharu Nagae

Patent number: 6604816Abstract: The recording electrodes and the control electrodes of an ink jet recording head are alternately arranged on a substrate. Ink in which coloring material is distributed in a solvent is supplied to the recording electrode so that the ink can flow in the direction of the length of the recording electrode. An ink circulation part is provided for collecting surplus ink from the point of the recording electrode from which ink is discharged. As a result, an ink jet recorder, which can produce a high definition image without shifting the ink impact position on the recording medium, can be produced.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2001Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Seiji Yonekura, Yoshinobu Fukano, Mamoru Okano, Tatsuo Igawa, Kazuhito Masuda

Patent number: 6557981Abstract: An ink jet recording head has a plurality of ink-discharge electrodes and control electrodes and an opposed electrode arranged at a fixed spacing and grounded. A pulse voltage with a reversed polarity is applied to the control electrodes in synchronization with the superimposition of the pulse voltage on a bias voltage applied to the ink-discharge electrode when the ink is discharged. As a result, an ink jet recording apparatus, which can decrease the pulse voltage needed to discharge the ink, is provided with a simple configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinobu Fukano, Seiji Yonekura, Mamoru Okano, Tatsuo Igawa, Kazuhito Masuda

Patent number: 6412916Abstract: An ink jet printer is of a small size and is capable of printing high-quality images, wherein an ink with a colorant dispersed in a solvent is ejected in a direction lower than a horizontal level and is adhered to a surface of a recording medium. The recording medium is conveyed while being spaced a constant distance from ink ejecting electrodes, thereby stabilizing an electric field induced between the ink ejecting electrodes and the recording medium and stabilizing the amount of the ink ejected.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2000Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Mamoru Okano, Atsushi Onose, Shigetaka Fujiwara, Yoshinobu Fukano, Seiji Yonekura, Yoshiharu Nagae

Patent number: 6286938Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus has a head substrate, a jetting member disposed on the substrate, a recording electrode disposed so as to sandwich the jetting member and for making ink jet from the jetting member, and a separating wall for covering the recording electrode, wherein the ink is supplied from the proximal end of the jetting member and recovered in an upward direction from near the tip end of the jetting member. According to such an arrangement, it becomes possible to prevent the recording electrode from being clogged with ink adhering at the tip end thereof, and thus, the locus of the ink drop jetted from the head can be prevented from being deviated due to deviation of the jetting point on the jetting member. Accordingly, it becomes possible to provide an ink jet recording apparatus which is capable of printing an image with a high definition.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2000Date of Patent: September 11, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Mamoru Okano, Seiji Yonekura, Yoshinobu Fukano, Shigetaka Fujiwara, Atsushi Onose
