Abstract: The present invention provides a driving device for an inkjet recording apparatus, which uses supersonic waves to significantly save power consumption for a compact, light-weight, lower price apparatus, and provides an inkjet recording apparatus using the driving device. An LC circuit of inductance and a capacitor, and an amplitude limiting resistor are connected in series across a fixed inductance for tuning, and are connected in parallel to a degenerated equivalent circuit of a piezoelectric element oscillator. The LC circuit is served to compensate lacking complex components respecting the driving frequency when a capacitance is fluctuated by printing pattern in the degenerated equivalent circuit of simultaneously driven oscillators. By adding a LC circuit in parallel to the TANK circuit as an equivalent circuit comprised of oscillator capacitance and a fixed inductance, the fluctuated capacitance including its complex component is compensated for and the oscillators is driven at a constant frequency.

Abstract: A high density image sensor capable of higher resolution reading is realized by laminating layers on the photodiodes of the image sensor to allow additional capacitors to form therein in a vertically overlapping relation with the photodiodes. Each photodiode is formed on a substrate and includes a lower electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a transparent electrode. The capacitors form where a transparent insulating layer and a transparent conductive layer are sequentially formed on the transparent electrode of the photodiode. The photodiode and the capacitors are electrically connected in parallel. The capacitors, one of which is outside the photodiode, do not enlarge the photodiode or affect the photo-/dark current ratio of the image sensor, thus enhancing the density of the image sensor and its resolution.

Abstract: Each light-receiving element of an image sensor consists of a photodiode and a blocking diode which are connected in series such that their poles of the same type are connected to each other. Each of the photodiode and the blocking diode has, on a common base electrode, an ohmic contact layer, a photoconductive layer and a transparent electrode. The photodiode and the blocking diode are arranged side by side to extend along one direction. Two lead lines are connected to the respective transparent electrodes through holes formed in an insulating layer. Each lead line covers end portions of both the transparent electrodes of the photodiode and the blocking diode. Typically, the two transparent electrodes have an equal area.
