Method of manufacture of an ink jet printhead having a moving nozzle with an externally arranged actuator

摘要

A method of manufacture of an ink jet printhead includes the steps of providing a substrate 16. An array of nozzle assemblies 10 is created on the substrate with a nozzle chamber 34 in communication with a nozzle opening 24 of a nozzle 22 of each nozzle assembly 24. The nozzle 22 of each assembly 10 is displaceable relative to the substrate 16 for effecting ink ejection on demand and the nozzle assembly 10 includes an actuator unit 28 connected to the nozzle 22 and arranged externally of the chamber 34 for controlling displacement of the nozzle 22.
