Patent number: 12240240Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes a plate including a nozzle for ejecting a liquid, a substrate, an actuator including a pressure chamber. The actuator includes an upper surface and a side surface connecting the upper surface to the substrate. The side surface is at an angle ? between 45 and 90 degrees. The head includes an electrode connected to the chamber. The electrode includes a first wiring on the side surface and a second wiring on the substrate within a first region thereof. The first region has a length A from a position of a line along which the upper and side surfaces meet, and the value of length A is B/tan ??, where B is a distance between the upper surface and the substrate and ?? is (??45)×2.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: RISO Technologies CorporationInventors: Tsubasa Konishi, Akimasa Toyama

Patent number: 10717309Abstract: A liquid discharge head includes a head, a liquid supply conduit, a liquid discharge conduit, a radiator, first and second wiring boards, and a heat conductive member. Liquid is supplied to the head for discharge through the liquid supply conduit. Liquid that passes through the head flows to the liquid discharge conduit. The radiator includes a flow path through which a coolant flows. The coolant is different from the liquid supplied to the head for discharge. The first wiring board is between the head and the radiator and has a connector connected to a wiring extending through an inner space of the radiator. The second wiring board is between the head main body and the first wiring board, and includes, thereon, a driving control element. The heat conductive member extends between the head and the radiator, and is in thermal contact with the radiator.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomomi Iijima, Akimasa Toyama, Naoaki Kiryu

Patent number: 7545475Abstract: To suppress occurrence of low temperature bubbles while securing pressure resistance to external forces applied to substrates of a liquid crystal display device, a plurality of spacers disposed between the substrates are divided into a plurality of spacer groups 2, one unit of which is configured with spacers 2a, 2b allocated in close proximity to each other; and the spacer groups 2 are disposed with a density that the low temperature bubbles do not occur. Hence, the strength of the substrates increases, and in a region 10 where no spacers exist, a large deformation of the substrates by shrinkage is allowed, and a liquid crystal layer 8 is sufficiently enough shrunk even under a low temperature environment to prevent the low temperature bubbles from occurring.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2006Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuya Kawamura, Katsuhiko Inada, Akimasa Toyama
