The first substrate 20 can be monocrystal silicon substrate.Yet if necessary, the first substrate 20 can be silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate.The first substrate 20 can comprise nozzle 22 and current limiter 24.
Nozzle 22 can vertically penetrate the first substrate 20.In addition, nozzle 22 can have the cross sectional shape that reduces along downward direction (in Fig. 1-Z-direction).When hanging down, the driving force of piezo-activator 40 also can discharge the China ink of scheduled volume even have the nozzle 22 of above-mentioned shape.Therefore, the ink jet printing head assembly 100 that comprises the nozzle 22 with above-mentioned shape can use relatively little piezo-activator 40 and can drive with the electric current of relative a small amount of.Yet the shape of nozzle 22 is not limited to the shape shown in Fig. 1, and if need, the shape of nozzle 22 can have the vertically identical cross sectional shape of size.
Current limiter 24 can be formed in a surface of the first substrate 20.More particularly, current limiter 24 can be formed in the top surface of the first substrate 20 (with reference to Fig. 1) having the predetermined degree of depth, and can form apart from nozzle 22 and have predetermined distance.The current limiter 24 that is formed as described above can be that China ink is by its passage that flows and be used for limiting flowing of China ink.Can control according to the amount of the China ink that can discharge by nozzle 22 degree of depth h1, length L 3 and the width (along the length of Y direction in Fig. 1) of current limiter 24 in single print run.
Simultaneously, although shown in Fig. 1 be that nozzle 22 and current limiter 24 are formed in the first substrate 20, if necessary, the part of the part of balancing gate pit or manifold can be formed in the first substrate 20.In addition, can prevent that the damper (damper) that China ink discharges rapidly by nozzle 22 can be additionally formed in the first substrate 20.
The second substrate 30 can be monocrystal silicon substrate.Yet if necessary, the second substrate 30 can be silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate.The second substrate 30 can comprise balancing gate pit 32 and manifold 34.Simultaneously, in the accompanying drawings, the thickness t 1 of the first substrate 20 is identical with the thickness t 2 of the second substrate 30, but the thickness t 1 of the first substrate 20 can be larger than the thickness t 2 of the second substrate 30, and vice versa.
Balancing gate pit 32 can be formed in the basal surface of the second substrate 30 (with reference to Fig. 1).Balancing gate pit 32 can form nozzle 22 and the current limiter 24 of partly facing the first substrate 20.That is, when stacking, balancing gate pit 32 can be connected to nozzle 22 and the current limiter 24 of the first substrate 20 when the first substrate 20 and the second substrate 30.In addition, balancing gate pit 32 has the volume that equates with the amount of the China ink that can discharge or have the volume larger than the amount of the China ink that can discharge in single print run in single print run.
Manifold 34 can be formed in the basal surface of the second substrate 30 (with reference to Fig. 1).Manifold 34 can form apart from balancing gate pit 32 has predetermined interval, and can be connected in the first substrate 20 and the second substrate 30 current limiter 24 of the first substrate 20 when stacking.In addition, the height h3 of manifold 34 can be identical with the height h2 of balancing gate pit 34.In this case, can be in the second substrate 30 easily mineralization pressure chamber 32 and manifold 34.That is, when balancing gate pit 32 and manifold 34 had identical height, single etch technique that can be by the second substrate 30 is mineralization pressure chamber 32 and manifold 34 simultaneously.Yet if necessary, balancing gate pit 32 and manifold 34 can have different height.For example, the height h3 of manifold 34 can be identical with the thickness t 2 of the second substrate 30.In this case, China ink is provided to the black entrance of manifold 34 and can be additionally formed in the second substrate 30.
Piezo-activator 40 can be formed in the second substrate 30.Piezo-activator 40 can be formed on the top surface of the second substrate 30 (with reference to Fig. 1), and the balancing gate pit 32 that the pressure of predeterminated level can be applied to the second substrate 30 makes the China ink that is stored in balancing gate pit 32 can be by nozzle 22 dischargings.For this reason, piezo-activator 40 can be formed in the position corresponding with the balancing gate pit 32 of the second substrate 30.In addition, the length L 2 of piezo-activator 40 can be identical with the length L 1 of balancing gate pit 32.
Piezo-activator 40 can comprise piezoelectric element 42, the first electrode 44 and the second electrode 46.
Piezoelectric element 42 can be formed by piezoelectric.For example, piezoelectric element 42 can be formed by pottery, more particularly, can be formed by lead titanate-zirconate (PZT).Piezoelectric element 42 can shrink according to the signal of telecommunication of outside or be lax, and pressure can be applied to the balancing gate pit 32 of the second substrate 30.The size of piezoelectric element 42 can be proportional with the length L 1 of balancing gate pit 32, and can have the length identical with the length L 1 of balancing gate pit 32.
The first electrode 44 can be formed in the second substrate 30.The first electrode 44 can be formed in the second substrate 30 by using the adhesive such as epoxy resin, and can form the measure-alike size that has with piezoelectric element 42.The first electrode 44 can be formed by conductive material, and the first polarity electric current can be offered piezoelectric element 42.For this reason, the first electrode 44 can be electrically connected to external power source or circuit board.In addition, the first electrode can be formed by the double layer of metal thin layer of making by titanium (Ti) and platinum (Pt).The first electrode 44 that is formed as described above can be used as common electrode.
The second electrode 46 can be formed on the top surface of piezoelectric element 42.The second electrode 46 can be by forming such as any material in the material of Pt, Au, Ag, Ni, Ti, Cu etc., and the electric current that has with the opposite polarity polarity of the first electrode 44 can be offered piezoelectric element 42.
Simultaneously, embodiments of the invention have been described on the basal surface that the first electrode 44 is formed on piezoelectric element 42 and the second electrode 46 is formed on the top surface of piezoelectric element 42, but can change the position of the first electrode 44 and the second electrode 46.
The first protective layer 50 can be formed in piezo-activator 40 and the second substrate 30.More particularly, the first protective layer 50 is formed on the top surface of the second substrate 30 (with reference to Fig. 1), is corroded because of concentrated acidity or basic solvent steam with the top surface that prevents the second substrate 30.In addition, the first protective layer 50 is formed on the surface of piezo-activator 40, is corroded or oxygenated because of concentrated acidity or basic solvent steam with a part ( electrode 44 and 46 particularly) that prevents piezo-activator 40.
For this reason, the first protective layer 50 can be formed by the material that comprises the chemically-resistant component.For example, the first protective layer 50 can comprise the Parylene component.Selectively; the first protective layer can be formed by the one-component in N-type Parylene (parylene N) (two pairs of xylylenes), C type Parylene (parylene C) (dichloro xylylene), D type Parylene (parylene D) (tetrafluoro xylylene) or F type Parylene (parylene F) (octafluoro-[2,2] are to cyclophane).Selectively; the first protective layer can be formed by the blending ingredients that comprises at least a and insulating materials in N-type Parylene (two pairs of xylylenes), C type Parylene (dichloro xylylene), D type Parylene (tetrafluoro xylylene) and F type Parylene (octafluoro-[2,2] are to cyclophane).
Yet except said components, the first protective layer 50 can comprise any chemically-resistant component.
Simultaneously, can form the first protective layer 50 by the method such as deposition, coating, printing etc.The mode that can be immersed in the basal component 10 that will have the piezo-activator 40 that is attached to it in coating liquid that comprises the Parylene component in addition, forms the first protective layer 50.In this case, the opening portion (for example, nozzle 22) of basal component 10 can be closed to prevent that coating liquid is introduced in wherein.
Due to the part of the acidity that is subject to concentrate of having protected ink jet printing head assembly 100 by the first protective layer 50 or the impact of basic solvent steam, so can extend the life-span of the ink jet printing head assembly 100 of structure as described above.
In addition, due to the electrode acidity avoiding concentrating of protection piezo-activator 40 or the impact of basic solvent steam, so can have error ground accurately not carry out control to piezo-activator 40.
Therefore, according to example of the present invention, the black discharge performance of ink jet printing head assembly 100 can be stably kept, like this, the resolution ratio of printing the object that obtains can be improved.
As a reference, accompanying drawing and detailed description have illustrated and have described the ink jet printing head assembly and discharged China ink by the Piezoelectric Driving scheme of using piezo-activator 40, but the invention is not restricted to this.Therefore, if necessary, can use to have heating unit but not the ink jet printing head assembly of piezo-activator.
Next, with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 6, other embodiment of the present invention are described.As a reference, in the following examples of the present invention, can use identical label to represent the assembly identical with assembly in the first embodiment, therefore will omit the detailed description to same components.
To with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the second embodiment of the present invention and the 3rd embodiment be described respectively.
Can also comprise enhancement Layer 60 according to the ink jet printing head assembly 100 of second embodiment of the invention.
The first protective layer 50 forms the form membrane with relative thin, and therefore, the first protective layer 50 may use because concentrated acid or alkaline steam is easy to consume along with the long-term of ink jet printing head assembly 100, perhaps may damage because of independent external factor.
Consider the problems referred to above, embodiments of the invention can also comprise the enhancement Layer 60 that is formed on the first protective layer 50.
In this case, enhancement Layer 60 can be formed by the component that comprises silicon, and can prevent that the first protective layer 50 from slowly consuming or preventing that the first protective layer 50 from gasifying in air at leisure because of concentrated acid or alkaline steam.
In addition, enhancement Layer 60 can absorb the heat that is produced by basal component 10.In order to realize this point, enhancement Layer 60 can comprise metal dust.
The enhancement Layer 60 that is formed as described above absorbs the heat that is produced by basal component 10, to suppress being stored in the viscosity of the China ink in balancing gate pit 32 because heat changes.
Simultaneously, enhancement Layer 60 has the chemically-resistant characteristic lower than the first protective layer 50.Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, can further form the second protective layer 52 on the top surface of enhancement Layer 60 in the third embodiment of the present invention.The second protective layer 52 also can be formed by Parylene component as above.
Because a plurality of protective layers 50,60 and 52 sequentially are formed on basal component 10 and piezo-activator 40, so the ink jet printing head assembly 100 of structure can more effectively prevent acid or alkaline steam corrosion and the oxidation that electrode is concentrated as described above.
With reference to Fig. 4, the fourth embodiment of the present invention is described.
Can also comprise flexible substrates 70 according to the ink jet printing head assembly 100 of fourth embodiment of the invention.
