Description
- The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inkjet head, for detail, a method for manufacturing an inkjet head using an adhesive having both of ultraviolet curable and thermosetting properties.
- A liquid injection head which can eject liquid in a state of fine droplet is spreading widely, for example, as an inkjet head used for an inkjet printer which records image by ejecting ink droplet onto a recording paper.
- As a typical ink ejecting method of an inkjet head, there is a method for ejecting ink in which electrical current is applied to electric resistor arranged at a pressure chamber, water in ink is vaporized and expanded by generated heat, and the ink is ejected by the pressure, or a method for ejecting liquid from nozzle in which a part of a flow path component which constitutes a pressure chamber is made of piezoelectric element or piezoelectric element is arranged at the flow path component, piezoelectric element corresponding to a plurality of nozzles is selectively driven and the pressure chamber is distorted according to dynamic pressure of each piezoelectric element.
- In recent years, an interval between adjacent nozzles becomes still narrower due to provide an inkjet head with high density. For example, in case of the nozzle density of 180dpi (in the present invention, dpi refer to as number of dots per 2.54 cm), the interval between adjacent nozzles is 140 µm. In this case, when partition of pressure chamber has thickness of 70 µm in this 140 µm, a width of the pressure chamber will be 70 µm. When a nozzle spreads toward the pressure chamber side from the external surface and sets the inside diameter by the side of the pressure chamber to 40 µm, there is only 15 µm distance from the end of the partition to the nozzle. When heat treatment is carried out for hardening adhesive in a process ofbonding the nozzle plate to a recording element board or a flow path component, viscosity of adhesive falls and adhesive tends to flow easily by this heating operation. As a result, adhesive will flow into the nozzle portion existing in neighborhood and will block a part of or in the worst case, the whole region of nozzle portion. Especially when applied ink has the characteristics to swell or dissolve adhesive, adhesive has to have higher resistance to ink. For that purpose, it is effective to heat the adhesive at high temperature and to raise the glass transition point of adhesives when curing the adhesive. However, when heating adhesives at high temperature, viscosity falls and the tendency to block the above-mentioned nozzle portion increases more.
- In the viewpoint which prevents inflow of the adhesives to such a nozzle area, when coating amount of adhesives is reduced, unevenness or adhered dust on the surface of a flow path component may cause void between a nozzle plate and a flow path component where adhesives do not exist, and ink may leak through the void. On the other hand, when the amount of adhesives is increased, the quantity of the adhesive overflowing from a gap of the components increases, and adhesive flows into a nozzle area. Thus, it is difficult to achieve a good balance between eliminating void and preventing inflow of the adhesive to such a nozzle area.
- As a method for preventing inflow of protruding adhesive, it was disclosed a method for producing an inkjet recording head in which a flow path component and a nozzle plate are bonded with the adhesive containing a photo-cationic polymerization initiator and a specific thermal-cationic polymerization initiator, for example. The portion where adhesive protruded was irradiated by ultraviolet radiation to perform the first curing, then a portion where a light did not reach was cured by heat treatment (refer to Patent Document 1). By above procedure, prevention of inflowing the protruding adhesive and resistance for ink can be improved. However, in case of epoxy resin which contains both a photo-cationic polymerization initiator and a thermal-cationic polymerization initiator, an inhibition of photopolymerization by a thermal polymerization initiator is not completely resolved. Ejection can be carried out, but curved ejection occurred due to inflow of adhesive. Moreover, since the sensitivity to light was low, thereby long-term light exposure was required for stopping a flow of adhesive and there was a problem of poor working efficiency.
- Bonding of a flow path component and a nozzle plate is performed by applying adhesive thinly to the flow path component by transferring, and by positioning and putting the nozzle plate on the applied adhesive side. In that case, the void between adhesive and the nozzle plate disappears with time when adhesive wets a nozzle plate.
- However, since the adhesive of
Patent Document 1 had the slow speed for disappearance of void, it had to take a long time until the void disappears, thereby there was a problem of working efficiency. - Moreover, in order to satisfy the resistance over the wide range solvent ink which is one of the objects of the present invention, it is further required to enhance a degree of cross-linking by advancing curing by thermal polymerization.
- In
Patent Document 2, it was disclosed that an adhesive property can be improved with the 1 liquid type epoxy adhesive in which the microcapsule of a photo-cationic polymerization initiator and a polyaddition type amine curing agent were used in combination and thermal curing is carried out after a temporary bonding by photo curing. However, when it was used for producing an inkjet head, the resistance over ink was inadequate. Especially in case of ejecting solvent ink or highly alkalic ink, high resistance was needed, but there was no disclosure about the resistance over such highly caustic ink. - In
Patent Document 3, it was disclosed that the epoxy composite which has a liquid epoxy resin containing a naphthalene based liquid epoxy, an inorganic filler, a photo-cationic polymerization initiator, and a microencapsulated thermal polymerization initiator can be cured only by low-temperature heating after irradiating a low energy ultraviolet radiation. However, there was no disclosure that fully curing can be achieved only by light irradiation. -

- The inkjet recording head and the inkjet ink applied to the inkjet image recording of the present invention will now be further detailed.
- First, the following describes the fundamental embodiments of inkjet recording head of the present invention with reference to drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the inkjet recording head of the present invention.FIG. 2 is a rear side view showing a rear surface of the head chip. - In
FIG. 1, 1 is a head chip, 2 is a nozzle plate connected to the front surface ofhead chip head chip 1. - In the present specification, the nozzle side of
head chip 1 from which the surface where ink is jetted is defined as a "front surface", and the opposite side thereof is defined as "rear surface".Head chip 1 corresponds to a flow path component of the present invention. InFIG. 1 , the ink flows in the direction from bottom to top. - In
head chips 1 of the present invention, flowpath component 11 made of a piezoelectric element and pressure chamber (ink supply path) 12 are arranged alongside alternately in each array of channels. The walls on both sides of the pressure chamber12 are formed in parallel each other. Outlet port and inlet port of eachpressure chamber 12 are arranged on the front surface and rear surface ofhead chip 1. Eachpressure chamber 12 is a straight type channel wherein the size and shape remain almost unchanged in the direction from the inlet to the outlet ports. - In this
head chip 1, eachpressure chamber 12 constitutes two arrays of pressure chambers. Each pressure chamber array is composed of 8pressure chambers 12, however there is no limitation to the number ofpressure chambers 12 constituting the pressure chamber array inhead chip 1. -
Head chip 1 is formed by bondingpiezoelectric element 101 which has a plurality of channels withlid material 102. The drive electrode is formed on the surface of the channels ofpiezoelectric element 101, which comprisesmetal layer 13 shown with hatching inFIG. 1 . -
Metal layer 13 is preferably covered with the transparent insulating layer in view of preventing from corrosion by an ink. - Connecting electrode 14 (electrode for applying voltage) pulled out from
metal layer 13 of eachpressure chamber 12 is formed in the rear surface ofhead chip 1. Connectingelectrode 14 can be formed by vapor deposition or sputtering. -
Nozzle plate 2 is provided withnozzle 21 at the position corresponding to outlet port of eachpressure chamber 12 ofhead chip 1. An adhesive is used to bondnozzle plate 2 to the front surface ofhead chip 1 with connectingelectrode 14 formed thereon. Therefore, inlet port, outlet port andnozzle 21 of eachpressure chamber 12 are arranged linearly. -
Wiring substrate 3 is a plate-formed member to connect a wire which applies driving voltage from the driving circuit (not illustrated) to eachmetal layer 13 ofhead chip 1. A substrate made of a ceramic material such as non-polarized PZT, AlN-BN and AlN, a substrate made of plastic or glass of low thermal expansion, and a substrate produced by depolarization of the same substrate material as that of the piezoelectric element used inhead chip 1 can be used as the substrate used in thiswiring substrate 3. So as to reduce the distortion ofhead chip 1 caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient, it is preferred to select the material having the difference in thermal expansion within the range of ±3 ppm based on that of un-polarized PZT. - The substrate constituting
wiring substrate 3 is not restricted to a single plate-formed substrate. It is possible to produce a substrate having a predetermined thickness by lamination of a plurality of sheet-like substrate materials -
Wiring substrate 3 has the larger area than rear surface ofhead chip 1. It extends in the direction (B direction in FIG.) perpendicular to the direction whereinpressure chambers 12 ofhead chip 1 are arranged (direction of pressure chamber array), and heavily extends from eachsurface ofhead chip 1. The ends of the extension are used aswiring connections 33 for connection of the FPCs (not illustrated). Further,wiring substrate 3 heavily extends in the direction of pressure chamber array 12 (A direction in FIG.) ofhead chip 1. -
Opening 32 is formed by penetration through the center ofwiring substrate 3. Thisopening 32 is formed to have such a size as to expose the inlet port side of allpressure chambers 12 facing the rear surface ofhead chip 1. - Depending on the characteristics of the substrate material, opening 32 can be formed by a method of using a dicing saw for processing, a method of using an ultrasonic processing machine, a method of molding a ceramic and sintering, or a method of forming by a sandblast.
- Wiring electrodes 33 (electrodes for applying electric voltage) are formed on the surface side of
wiring substrate 3 wherehead chip 1 is connected to in the same number and at the same pitch (W1+W2) as those ofconnection electrode 14 formed on the rear surface ofhead chip 1. These electrodes extend to reach from the peripheral of anopening 32 to the outer edge of thewiring substrate 3. When bonded with the FPC, thiswiring electrode 33 is electrically connected with each wire formed on the FPC, and works as an electrode for applying the driving voltage from driving circuit tometal layer 13 located inside ofpressure chamber 12 throughconnection electrode 14. - In addition, on the surface of the
wiring substrate 3, other than thewiring electrode 33,dummy electrode 36a which does not participate in a drive is formed betweenwiring electrode 33, since betweenhead chip 1 andwiring substrate 3 is sealed by adhesives.Pattern 38 for positioning is also formed forpositioning head chip 1. In the case of bonding with thehead chip 1, thispattern 38 for positioning is used to fit in thepattern 39 for positioning formed in the rear surface of thehead chip 1, and positioning thehead chip 1. - After applying adhesive to both adhesive sides respectively,
head chip 1 andwiring substrate 3 formed as described above are positioned to overlap as shown inFIG. 1 , so that eachconnection electrode 14 ofhead chip 1 and eachwiring electrode 33 ofwiring substrate 3 may be connected electrically, and heated and pressurized by predetermined temperature and predetermined time to cure the adhesive. - Moreover,
nozzle plate 2 withnozzle 21 is bonded on the front surface ofhead chip 1 with the above-mentioned adhesive. Thereby, an inkjet recording head is obtained. - Besides, the adhesive concerning the present invention is applicable to an adhesion of a circuit board to a head chip, and an adhesion of manifold.
-
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a state where a nozzle plate and a head chip were bonded with adhesive, as one example of the present invention. - The production method of the inkjet recording head of the present invention is explained with reference to the accompanying
FIG. 3 . -
FIG. 3 shows a state wherehead chip 1 in the inkjet recording head shown inFIG. 1 andnozzle plate 2 bonded to the front surface ofhead chip 1 was bonded with the adhesive concerning the present invention. - At first, predetermined amount of the above-mentioned
adhesive 15 is applied to the surface where the nozzle plate ofhead chip 1 is bonded to by using a transfer method. There is no limitation in particular as an applied amount of adhesive, but it is preferable that thickness of applied wetting film is 1.0 µm or more and 25.0 µm or less. When the applied amount of adhesive is 1.0 µm or more, the durability of adhesion betweenhead chip 1 andnozzle plate 2 can be improved. Moreover, when it is 25.0 µm or less, since the applied amount of adhesive does not exceed, whereby an inflow of adhesive and a protrusion of adhesive to the nozzle area can be prevented. - The applied amount of adhesives can be determined as follows: the mass of the adhesive is calculated by deducting the mass of the chip from the mass of the chip having applied adhesive, the volume of adhesives is calculated by dividing the mass of the adhesives by the specific gravity of adhesive, and further the result is divided by the bonding area of the adhesion side of the chip.
- Flow
path component 11 may comprise any material, for example, such as piezoelectric material or silicone, however, in the present invention, it is preferable that an ink supply route including a flow path component comprises the piezoelectric element (piezoelectric ceramics). - As piezoelectric ceramics which constitute the flow path component, any well-known ceramics may be employable. However, it is preferable ceramics such as PZT and PLZT which contains a small amount of metal oxide known as a softening agent or a hardening agent, for example, oxide of Nb, Zn, Mg, Sn, Ni, La, and Cr in a mixed microcrystalline mainly made of PbOx, ZrOx, and TiOx.
- PZT is lead zirconate titanate and is preferably used due to its high packing density, large piezoelectric constant and good workability. When temperature is lowered after calcination, crystal structure of PZT suddenly changes and atom shifts resulting in aggregate of fine crystals in the form of dipole having plus on one side and minus on the opposite side. Since directions of such intrinsic polarization are random and polarity is negated mutually, a poling process is further needed.
- In a polarization process, thin plate of PZT is sandwiched with electrodes, soaked into silicone oil, and polarized by applying a high electric field of about 10 - 35 kV/cm. The piezoelectricity of PZT disappears by applying temperature exceeding Curie point which is generally about 200 °C.
- In the present invention, it is preferable to perform an acid treatment, a plasma treatment, or a UV treatment to at least one of the adhesion surface of
head chip 1 andnozzle plate 2. Plasma treatment is a treatment in which a nozzle plate and a head tip are placed into a vacuum chamber, by pouring at least one gas selected from Ar, N2 and O2, or mixed gas thereof, and treated in a state of plasma by applying electromagnetic field from outside. It may use the fluorine based hydrocarbon gas such as CF4 so as to increase surface etching effect. Acid treatment can be carried out by immersing an adhesion side in aqueous solution of such as hydrochloric acid. Moreover, UV treatment is a treatment in which UV is directly irradiated to a nozzle plate or a flow path component by ultraviolet radiation lamp. It may be carried out under O2 atmosphere so as to use a cleaning effect by ozone. By plasma treatment, acid treatment, and UV treatment on the adhesion surface as above, organic contamination can be washed and removed, wetting ability of the adhesive to the entire adhesion surface is enhanced, and adhesion problem such as remaining minute bubbles can be eliminated, thereby ink leakage and poor adhesion are prevented and a stable inkjet recording head can be manufactured. - For example, on
piezoelectric element 101, minute channel portion (for example, length: 3mm, height: 360 µm, width: 70 µm) is processed on the one surface of the substrate having thickness of 1 mm. By bonding (adhering)lid component 102 to the processed surface of the substrate, pressure chamber (length: 3mm, height: 360 µm, width: 70 µm) is formed at channel portion which are used as ink flow path. One end of a pressure chamber is connected with an ink storage member through manifold containing a circuit board and a filter unit, and the other end is connected with an ink outlet (nozzle plate). - In the present invention, flow
path component 11 which forms an ink chamber hasmetal layer 13 on the ink supply route side. -
Metal layer 13 acts as a drive electrode of the flow path component (piezoelectric element). Metal materials to form the metal layer are Ni, Co, Cu, Al, Sn and Cr. While Al and Cu are preferred from the viewpoint of electric resistance, Ni is preferably used in terms of corrosion, strength and cost. Also, a laminated structure where Au is laminated on Al can be employed. - While methods using a vacuum device such as an evaporation coating method, a sputtering method, a plating method and a CVD (chemical vapor deposition method) are listed as forming methods of
metal layer 13, the plating method is preferred and the nonelectrolytic plating is particularly preferred. By nonelectrolytic plating, a metal coating layer can be formed which is free from pin holes and uniform in thickness. A thickness of the plating layer is preferable in the range of 0.5 - 5 µm. - Further, as the nozzle plate material, material is used which can be ablated by laser light or which can be anisotropic etched. For example, resin sheet such as polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, and polysulfone and silicone can be used preferably. It is specifically preferable to be constituted by polyimide which can bear high temperature during preparation of an ink repellency layer on the surface, and precise nozzle processing by a laser can be available.
- At the above-mentioned process, after bonding
nozzle plate 2 andchip 1 with adhesive 15, the first cure process is performed by irradiating optical energy to the adhesive. - In the present invention, in case of curing the adhesive by light irradiation, it is preferable that surface of
ink supply route 12 is formed bymetal layer 13. By constitutingink supply route 12 equipped with such a metal surface, as shown inFIG. 3 , when light is irradiated from the light source from the direction of ink supply side shown by arrow A, since the irradiated light reflects on the metal surface and attenuation is low until it reaches toadhesive layer 15 located deeply, whereby it can supply light energy required for curing. - As an irradiation source used for curing adhesive, it is preferable that the source is constituted by an ultraviolet radiation lamp which can emit light in the ultraviolet radiation of the specific wavelength region with stable exposure energy, and a filter which penetrates the ultraviolet radiation of specific wavelength. As the ultraviolet irradiation lamp, a mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, an excimer laser, an ultraviolet laser, a cold cathode pipe, a hot cathode pipe, a black light, LED (light emitting diode) are applicable. Of these, the high-pressure mercury lamp which emits ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength of 365 nm is especially preferable.
- After performing the first cure process of
adhesive layer 15 in the above mentioned process 2), the second cure process is performed by applying thermal energy so as to obtain firmer adhesive layer and to cure a portion where light did not reach. By this heating process, adhesive can have the predetermined solvent resistance. - The inkjet head keeps a narrow gap between the recording media and moves relatively to the recording medium. When the recording medium has unevenness such as surge, the nozzle plate may contact with the recording medium during the inkjet head moves. Especially when the inkjet head is used for a long term and the used adhesive swells with solvent in ink, the nozzle plate may be separated by such contact. In order to resolve such a problem, it is effective to enhance the adhesive strength and to reduce swelling of adhesive when the adhesive is immersed in solvent ink for a long term.
- Heating temperature for curing adhesive may be suitably chosen by a kind of the adhesives and unless a constituting component of the inkjet recording head is impaired. The highest temperature of the heating process is in the range of 60 °C to 150 °C.
- As means for applying thermal energy, preferable are an electric oven or a heating implement which can heat the inkjet recording head by pressure-contacting, for example, such as a hot plate, and a ribbon heater. Moreover, at the time of heat treatment, it is preferable to use a mean for cooling at least to a piezoelectric element, which cools by circulating cold water through an aluminum block. Since it is difficult to measure the temperature of the adhesive itself in this invention, temperature of the oven and the pressurization implement is measured and used as a substitute for the temperature of the heating process.
- The adhesive applied in manufacturing the inkjet recording head of the present invention is characterized by comprising an epoxy resin, a photo-cationic polymerization initiator and a thermal curing agent, the above-mentioned epoxy resin comprising a novolac based epoxy resin, and the above mentioned thermal curing agent is microencapsulated.
- Specific examples of the thermal curing agents according to the present invention include a primary or a secondary polyamine, a thermal-cationic polymerization initiator, and a thermal-anionic polymerization initiator for polyaddition or thermal polymerization of epoxy monomer. Of these, the thermal-cationic polymerization initiator and the thermal-anionic polymerization initiator are preferable, and the thermal-anionic polymerization initiator is still more preferable.
- Hereafter, the addition amount of the above mentioned thermal curing agent is represented by part by mass of the added quantity to 100parts by mass of the epoxy resin.
- As the thermal-cationic polymerization initiator, boron trifluoride amine complex, sulfonium salt, and aluminum complex are used. Of these, boron trifluoride amine complex is preferable, and the compound represented by Formula (I) is specifically preferable due to having the adhesive with high solvent resistance.

- As epoxy compounds (epoxy resin) applicable to the adhesives according to the present invention, any monomers, oligomers, and polymers having epoxy group are usable. Specifically, well-known aromatic epoxides, alicyclic epoxides, and aliphatic epoxides are listed. Herein, the epoxides refer to monomers or oligomers thereof.

- It is preferable that the epoxy compound in the present invention contains 70 - 99 % by mass of an aromatic epoxy compound in the epoxy compound in view of resistance for ink.
- The above-mentioned novolac type epoxy resin is a compound which has a plurality of glycidyl groups in one molecule generated by a reaction of hydroxyl group of novolac resin and epichlorohydrin. The number of the epoxy groups in one molecule has distribution. Although the average of the number of epoxy groups in one molecule changes with synthetic conditions, 3 or more are preferable.
- As commercially available products, listed are jER152 (phenol novolac epoxy resin, produced by Japan Epoxy Resin), jER154 (phenol novolac epoxy resin, produced by Japan Epoxy Resin), and EPICLON N-660 (cresol novolac epoxy resin, produced by DIC).
- 5 - 50% by mass is the novolac type epoxy resin among the above-mentioned epoxy resins. When the novolac type epoxy resin is more than 5% by mass, resistance for ink is excellent as well as void disappears easily. When the novolac type epoxy resin is 50% or less by mass, void disappears easily.
- As a reason for excellent elimination of void in case of the novolac type epoxy resin in case of being more than 5% by mass, it is realized that the dissolution of a microcapsule is inhibited by the novolac type epoxy content of 5% or more, resulting in preventing a viscosity rise of the adhesive.

- The addition amount of the alicyclic epoxy compound is preferably 1 - 50% by mass based on the entire epoxy resins. In case of more than 1% by mass, photo sensitivity will be high, resulting in suppressing inflow in short-time irradiation. In case of the same irradiation level, the inflow will be further prevented compared to the adhesive without containing the alicyclic epoxy compound. In case of 50% or less, high resistance will be acquired.
- It is desirable that the above-mentioned adhesive contains silane coupling agent in view of enhancing resistance of adhesive strength.

For example, for outdoor signboards, the inkjet ink containing the solvent is used which dissolves vinyl chloride used as a material for a receiving sheet. In manufacturing electronic components, in order to dissolve various compounds, a solvent having high solubility to resin is used for the inkjet ink. Therefore, it is required to maintain strength as the inkjet recording head, even when it uses a solvent having such high resin solubility.

Resultant was emulsified to be in emulsion state. After emulsification, 20 parts by mass of above-mentioned melamine prepolymer was added and interfacial polymerization was carried out at 70 °C for 3 hours, thereby suspension was obtained. This suspension was filtered, dried and
Microcapsule 2 was obtained. - Head chips having constitution shown in
FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 were prepared according to the following method. - PZT (lead zirconate titanate, thickness: 700 µm, Curie temperature: 210 °C) and PZT (thickness: 150 µm, Curie temperature: 210°C) were bonded by using adhesive so that the polarization direction of each PZT is in the opposite direction. Subsequently, after preparing a resist layer by transferring the resist layer on the surface side and the back side of 150 µm thickness PZT, channels with a depth of 300 µm from the surface, a width of 70 µm and a length of 30mm were provided in 140 µm pitch, and 512 channels for pressure chamber were formed. Subsequently, the 1 µm thickness of nickel layer was formed on the surface of the channels by the plating method. Subsequently, the resist at summit of the pressure chamber and at the back side were removed together with the nickel plating layer on the resist
- A cover plate (depolarized PZT with 700 µm thickness) was bonded to the surface where resist was removed at the summit of the pressure chamber and a chip having a plurality of ink flow paths was formed. These two chips were bonded so that a cover plate became outside and the ink flow paths become parallel mutually, and the chip which has two rows of flow path sequence was formed. Subsequently, it was cut by interval of 2 mm along with the direction perpendicular to the direction of the flow path, and formed a plurality of head chips having L = 2mm.
- Thus, in above produced chip, the drive walls and the flow paths consisting of the piezoelectric element were provided in parallel by turns.
- In order to be able to connect the wiring substrate for applying the drive voltage from the drive circuit to the drive electrode in each flow path, each drive electrode was pulled out on the external surface of the chip. That is, on the rear surface of the above-mentioned cutting planes, after transferring the resist and forming a pattern by exposure and development, aluminum was vapor deposited and the electrode was formed by removing the resist.
- Moreover, a wiring substrate was prepared as a tabular component for connecting a wiring which applies the drive voltage from the drive circuit which is not illustrated to each drive electrode of the head chip. As the substrate used for this wiring substrate, selected was a glass board so that the difference of a coefficient of thermal expansion with the head chip may be set to less than ±1 ppm, in order to suppress generating of distortion of the head chip caused by the difference between coefficients of thermal expansion.
- Moreover, an opening was formed to penetrate through at mostly center of the wiring substrate. This opening was formed in the size which can expose an entrance side of all the channels of the head chip. By preparing this opening, all the drive walls, all the channels, and all the drive electrodes of the head chip can be looked into, in a state ofbonding the wiring substrate to the rear surface of the head chip.
- Moreover, on the surface which becomes a bonding side of the wiring substrate with the head chip, the wiring electrode were formed in the same number and the same pitch as those formed in the rear surface of the head chip and extended to each wiring connecting area. In case of bonding FPC, these connecting electrodes connected to each wiring formed on FPC electrically, and functioned as electrodes for applying the drive voltage from the drive circuit supplied through wiring of FPC to the drive electrode in the channel through the connection electrode.
- The wiring substrate was positioned and bonded to the rear surface of the chip via the adhesive with anisotropy conductivity so that each wiring electrode may connect electrically with each connecting electrode of the chip and the opening may expose all the flow path of chip. Thereafter, the wiring electrode where FPC will be bonded later was protected with the masking tape, a protective layer comprising polyparaxylylene was formed on the inside of the pressure chamber including the drive electrode and an exposed cross section including extraction electrode. Thus, the head chip was produced.
- On the front surface of the head chip produced above, the following adhesive 1 was transfer coated by thickness of 5 µm. Subsequently, the nozzle plate (a nozzle hole of 30 µm in diameter was formed on polyimide of 100 µm thickness) was bonded to the predetermined position on the surface of head chip1 where the adhesive was applied under observing with an optical microscope. Subsequently, after irradiating via a high-pressure mercury lamp from the head chip rear surface at the room temperature and at an irradiation amount of 5000 mJ/cm2, adhesive 1 were cured by the following
curing condition 1. - Herein, this irradiation amount is a value calculated as follows: before applying adhesive to the head chip, an actinometer which can measure a light of 365 nm was placed in front of the chip, the amount of light was determined by irradiating via the high-pressure mercury lamp from the rear surface of the head chip, and the determined amount of light was divided by the open area ratio of the chip. This value corresponds to the irradiation amount which is received by the nozzle plate at the time of bonding of the nozzle plate.
- FPC was bonded to the wiring electrode of the wiring substrate and the common ink chamber was bonded to the rear surface of the wiring substrate, thereby
Inkjet recording head 1 was prepared. Ink was introduced into the pressure chamber of the chip through the opening of the wiring substrate from the common ink chamber, and it enabled to apply the drive voltage through FPC from the external drive circuit -

- The adhesive was coated on PET film by the same thickness as coated on the front surface of the above mentioned head chip, and ultraviolet radiation was irradiated by the high-pressure mercury lamp with changing an irradiation time. Stainless spatula was pushed to the adhesive and a required irradiation amount for curing was determined by the minimum time whose tackiness was lost.
- Lower required irradiation amount mentioned above means the higher sensitivity.
