  • Publication number: 20200290357
    Abstract: An ink jet head includes a piezoelectric member, a plurality of electrodes, a protective lamination layer, and a nozzle plate. The piezoelectric member has a plurality of grooves. The electrodes are provided along surfaces of the grooves. The protective lamination layer covers the electrodes. The nozzle plate is on the piezoelectric member and has a plurality of ejection nozzles that faces the plurality of grooves. The protective lamination layer includes an insulating layer and a first oxide layer laminated on each other. The insulating layer contains an organic material. An oxygen content of the first oxide layer is greater than an oxygen content of the insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 10751991
    Abstract: An inkjet head includes a nozzle plate substrate having a nozzle for ejecting ink toward a recording medium, and an oil repellent layer on a surface of the nozzle plate substrate, the surface facing the recording medium. The oil repellent layer comprises a fluorine-based compound in which neighboring molecules are cross-linked in a direction parallel to the surface, and cross-links of the neighboring molecules are resistant to structural change when subjected to rubbing by an ink wiping blade.

  • Patent number: 10654273
    Abstract: An ink jet head includes a nozzle plate substrate having a nozzle for ejecting ink toward a recording medium and an oil repellent film on a surface of the nozzle plate substrate, the surface facing the recording medium. The oil repellent film comprises a fluorine compound having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a perfluoroalkyl group with 3 to 5 carbon atoms per each molecule of the fluorine compound, and a ratio of a density of CF2 groups in the oil repellent film with respect to a density of CF3 groups in the oil repellent film is between 1.5 and 4.0 as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis.
