Abstract
The liquid jet head is provided with a piezoelectric substrate having a plurality of groove rows in each of which elongated ejection grooves and elongated non-ejection grooves are alternately arranged in a reference direction. In adjacent ones of the groove rows, ends on a second side of ejection grooves included in a groove row located on a first side and ends on the first side of non-ejection grooves included in a groove row located on the second side are separated from each other, and overlap each other in a thickness direction of the piezoelectric substrate.
Claims22
A liquid jet head comprising:
- a piezoelectric substrate having a plurality of groove rows in each of which elongated ejection grooves and elongated non-ejection grooves are alternately arranged in a reference direction,
- wherein, in adjacent ones of the groove rows, ends on a second side of ejection grooves included in a groove row located on a first side and ends on the first side of non-ejection grooves included in a groove row located on the second side are separated from each other, and overlap each other in a thickness direction of the piezoelectric substrate.
A method of manufacturing a liquid jet head comprising:
- an ejection groove forming step for cutting a piezoelectric substrate from an upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate using a dicing blade to form a plurality of elongated ejection grooves;
- and
- a non-ejection groove forming step for cutting the piezoelectric substrate from a lower surface opposite to the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate using a dicing blade to form a plurality of elongated non-ejection grooves in parallel to a groove direction of the ejection grooves,
- wherein a plurality of groove rows in each of which ejection grooves and non-ejection grooves are alternately arranged in a reference direction are formed, and, in adjacent ones of the groove rows, ends on a second side of ejection grooves included in a groove row located on a first side and ends on the first side of non-ejection grooves included in a groove row located on the second side are separated from each other, and overlap each other in a thickness direction of the piezoelectric substrate.
