20080297553 | LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - A liquid ejecting head unit includes head main bodies capable of ejecting liquid droplets from nozzle openings by applying pressure to liquid inside pressure generating chambers communicated with the nozzle openings. Liquid flow paths that are formed for the head main bodies connect the nozzle openings including the pressure generating chambers and storage members that store liquid to be supplied to the pressure generating chambers. Heating members are disposed in the vicinity of the liquid flow paths and heat the liquid flowing through the liquid flow paths. A control unit controls the heating members. Temperature detecting units detect temperatures of the liquid flowing through the liquid flow paths. The control unit controls the heating members based on the temperatures of the liquid, which are detected by the temperature detecting units and lengths of the liquid flow paths extending from the storage members to the head main bodies | 12-04-2008 |
20090109256 | Liquid Ejecting Head and Liquid Ejecting Apparatus - A liquid ejecting head includes: a supply channel member including a plurality of supply channel plates, and the supply channel including supply holes provided through the respective supply channel plates and a supply groove formed by removing part of one of adjacent supply channel plates in terms of the direction of thickness thereof for communicating the respective supply holes; a pressure generating element that provides a pressure to the pressure generating chamber; a supply communication channel that connects a storage unit having the liquid stored therein and a reservoir, the supply communication channel being formed through a pressure chamber plate and the supply channel member in the direction of thickness thereof, the supply channel plates having the supply groove being formed with a recess having the substantially same depth as the supply groove at an area corresponding to the supply communication channel; and a filter unit having a plurality of filter holes provided on the bottom of the recess. | 04-30-2009 |
20090185005 | LIQUID EJECTING HEAD, LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID EJECTING HEAD - A liquid ejecting head including a plurality of nozzle orifices for liquid ejection, a reservoir plate made of rolled metal rolled in a first direction which includes a liquid reservoir which extends in a longitudinal direction that is capable of communicating with the plurality of nozzle orifices, and a compliance plate laminated on the reservoir plate which is made of rolled metal rolled in a second direction, the compliance plate including a compliance portion that forms a surface of the liquid reservoir which is also capable of absorbing the pressure in the liquid reservoir. The second direction is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the liquid reservoir and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. | 07-23-2009 |
20090185006 | LIQUID EJECTING HEAD, LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID EJECTING HEAD - A liquid ejecting head including a plurality of nozzle orifices for liquid ejection, a reservoir plate made of rolled metal rolled in a first direction which includes a liquid reservoir communicating with the plurality of nozzle orifices, and a compliance plate made of rolled metal rolled in a second direction, laminated on the reservoir plate, and having a thin portion that is formed by forming a recess which extends in the lengthwise direction in the opposite surface of the reservoir plate from the surface facing the liquid reservoir, the thin portion serving as a wall of the liquid reservoir. The second direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the recess and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. | 07-23-2009 |
20090289999 | LIQUID EJECTING HEAD AND LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid from a nozzle opening includes a first channel-forming substrate having a pressure-generating chamber that includes a diaphragm. A second channel-forming substrate is disposed on a surface opposite the diaphragm. An actuator that includes the diaphragm applies pressure to the pressure-generating chamber to eject the liquid from the nozzle opening. A first protective film is disposed on an inner surface of the pressure-generating chamber. A second protective film is disposed on a surface of the second channel-forming substrate that faces the first channel-forming substrate. The first channel-forming substrate is bonded to the second channel-forming substrate with an adhesive between the first and second protective films. Before curing, a contact angle θ | 11-26-2009 |
20100149264 | Liquid Ejecting Head, Liquid Ejecting Head Unit, and Liquid Ejecting Apparatus - A liquid ejecting head includes a nozzle plate that has a transparent property and includes a nozzle row in which a plurality of nozzle openings ejecting liquids are arranged in line, and a communicating path forming substrate that is bonded to the nozzle plate and has a communicating path communicating with the nozzle openings, wherein on a surface of one of the communicating path forming substrate and the nozzle plate bonded to a surface of the other thereof, a mark for identifying a nozzle opening as a reference for positioning is formed in the vicinity of the nozzle opening as a reference for positioning among the nozzle openings. | 06-17-2010 |
20110279606 | LIQUID EJECTING UNIT AND LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - The invention provides a liquid ejecting unit and a liquid ejecting apparatus that can prevent the film of the damper flow passage member from wrinkling. In a surface of a damper flow passage member covered with a film, a communication passage, a first filter chamber in which a first filter is disposed, and an empty chamber disposed between a pressure chamber and the communication passage are provided. The film is attached to a surface of each of the pressure chamber, the empty chamber, and the communication passage so as to cover a first flow passage and a second flow passage with the empty chamber therebetween. In a region of the film facing the empty chamber, a weak portion is formed that permits the stretching of the film. | 11-17-2011 |
