  • Patent number: 10513116
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an ink jet head includes a pair of actuator plates, a return plate, and a flow passage plate. The pair of actuator plates are disposed to face each other in a Y-direction. In the actuator plate, a plurality of channels which extend in a Z-direction are arranged at a distance in an X-direction. The return plate is disposed on an opening end side of the channels in the pair of actuator plates. A circulation passage which communicates with the channels is formed in the return plate. The flow passage plate is disposed between the pair of actuator plates. An inlet flow passage into which an ink flows and an outlet flow passage which communicates with the circulation passage are arranged in the Z-direction.

  • Patent number: 5278582
    Abstract: A driving circuit of an on-demand ink jet printer having a head with injection nozzles disposed in a matrix, wherein data is read out of a picture memory in which data of a pattern to be printed is stored at two-dimensional coordinate addresses, by using a nozzle position coordinate as a memory address, a pixel signal at each instant for each nozzle is fed to a piezo driving signal generation circuit directly from the picture memory, thereby realizing a simple method to compensate for different locations of the individual nozzles.
