Abstract
A nozzle head includes a plate portion arranged in a plate shape, a droplet discharging nozzle portion located in the plate portion, the droplet discharging nozzle portion including a plurality of droplet discharging nozzles ejecting droplets by an electrostatic discharging method, and a pseudo-nozzle portion located around the droplet discharging nozzle portion in the plate portion and including a plurality of pseudo-nozzles. In the nozzle head described above, the plurality of droplet discharging nozzles may be arranged in line in a first direction, and the pseudo-nozzle portion may be arranged on both sides of the droplet discharging nozzle portion.
Claims19
A nozzle head comprising:
- a plate portion having a through hole;
- a droplet discharging nozzle portion located corresponding to the through hole in the plate portion, the droplet discharging nozzle portion including a plurality of droplet discharging nozzles discharging droplets by an electrostatic discharging method;
- and
- a pseudo-nozzle portion located around the droplet discharging nozzle portion in the plate portion and including a plurality of pseudo-nozzles whose tips are blocked.
A method for manufacturing a nozzle head comprising:
- preparing a mother mold having a first surface and a second surface on the opposite side of the first surface and including a first recess group having a plurality of first recesses on the first surface side and a second recess group having a plurality of second recesses arranged around the first recess group;
- forming a plurality of first structures with an open end in the first recess, forming a plurality of second structures with a closed end in the second recess, and forming a planar third structure in the first surface,
- forming a resist mask to shield the plurality of first structures and the plurality of second structures;
- forming a fourth structure on the third structure;
- and
- removing the resist mask and releasing the first structure, the second structure, the third structure and the fourth structure from the mother mold, forming a droplet discharging nozzle from the first structure, forming a pseudo-nozzle from the second structure, and forming a plate portion from the third structure and the fourth structure.
