<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink-jet device having high device reliability and capable of highly accurately controlling a discharge rate. <P>SOLUTION: An ink-jet device comprises: a nozzle which discharges an ink; a pressure chamber which communicates with the nozzle; a piezoelectric element which applies pressure to the pressure chamber; and a drive circuit which drives the piezoelectric element by applying voltage to the element. At least two drive circuits are connected to the same piezoelectric element. Drive voltages of the respective drive circuits differ from each other, and a signal of the drive circuit having a lower drive voltage is applied first. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
