Ink-jet recording apparatus and method for producing the head thereof

摘要

Disclosed is an ink-jet recording apparatus comprising an ink-jet head which includes a plurality of nozzle openings (4), a plurality of independent ejection chambers (6) respectively communicating with the nozzle openings (4), diaphragms (5) formed in the ejection chambers on at least one side wall of each ejection chamber, a plurality of driving means (31) for driving respective diaphragms (5), and a common ink cavity (8) for supplying ink to the plurality of ejection chambers. Upon application of electric pulses to the driving means, the driving means distort the respective diaphragm to increase the pressure in that ejection chamber (6) to eject ink drops from the nozzle opening (4) onto recording paper. The driving means (31) are constituted by electrodes (31) to distort the diaphragms by electrostatic force. The electrodes are formed on a substrate.
