Abstract: A piezoelectric printing device includes a piezoelectric plate and a substrate with at least one row of drop ejectors. Each drop ejector includes a pressure chamber on a first side of the substrate and a nozzle on a second side of the substrate. The piezoelectric plate is attached to the substrate by a bonding layer. A first electrode layer is disposed on a first surface of the piezoelectric plate that is proximate to the first side of the substrate. The first electrode layer includes signal lines and ground traces corresponding to each pressure chamber. A second electrode layer including signal input pads and ground return pads is disposed on the first side of the substrate. Signal lines and ground traces in the first electrode layer are electrically connected to signal input pads and ground return pad(s) respectively on the second electrode layer through solder joints.

Abstract: A piezoelectric printing device includes a substrate and a piezoelectric plate. A pair of staggered rows of drop ejectors is disposed along a row direction on the substrate. Each drop ejector includes a nozzle in fluid communication with a pressure chamber that is bounded by side walls. The piezoelectric plate has a first surface that is proximate to the pressure chambers. An electrode layer is disposed on an opposing outer second surface of the piezoelectric plate. The electrode layer includes a signal line corresponding to each drop ejector in the pair of staggered rows, and at least one common ground bus connected to ground traces that are aligned over the side walls of each pressure chamber. Each signal line leads to a corresponding signal input pad that is disposed between the staggered rows. The common ground bus extends along the row direction and leads to a ground return pad.
