DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING A FLUID IN FORM OF A HIGH-SPEED MICRO-JET

摘要

The present invention relates to a device and method for delivering a fluid in the form of a high-speed micro-jet. In order to provide a small and low-cost device for delivering a fluid in the form of a high-speed micro-jet, a device (1) is suggested comprising a container (2) for accommodating a fluid which is to be delivered through an orifice (3) of said container (2), and further comprising an actuator (5) cooperating with said container (2), characterized in that said actuator (5) comprises a thin-film transducer membrane (6), wherein the transducer membrane (6) is divided into at least two transducer elements (15), said transducer elements (15) forming a transducer array in which each transducer element (15) corresponds to a certain portion of the transducer membrane (6).
