    Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent the unnecessary protrusion of a recording material from a recording material flying structure by differentiating the state change energy of the recording material corresponding to the plate of a recording material supply passage. CONSTITUTION: Heaters 168A, 168B are arranged on the upper surface of a dye supply passage 84 at a region other than the parts above respective evaporation parts and connected in series by an aluminum connection electrode 171. The respective heaters are formed on the entire upper surface of a bottom plate 102 by patterning. The most upstream heater 168A is large in the heat value per a unit area and inserted in the solid dye 42 in a dye housing tank 41 at one end part thereof. The heaters 168B positioned at the parts above both sides of the evaporation parts 77 are reduced in the heat value per a unit area. By this constitution, it is prevented that a dye is liquefied in the vicinity of the evaporation parts 77 as compared with the dye on the upstream side to expand and the unnecessary protrusion of the dye can be prevented.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To enhance production yield and recording capacity by a recording apparatus wherein a part of a wall like member having recording material housing recessed parts provided thereto so as to be divided into a plurality of sections is removed and a plurality of the sections communicate with each other through the removed part. CONSTITUTION: Only one dye introducing part 64 is formed on the side of a removed part 101 and an introduced dye 22 is distributed to both sides of a wall like member 110 and sufficiently supplied into recessed parts 87. Since the number of dye introducing parts 64 is reduced, the structure or assembling of a printing head 100 can be simplified and the supply of the dye can be easily and sufficiently supplied. Upper and lower electrodes 84,85 for applying voltage to heating elements 75 are provided to the upper part of the wall like member 110 through an insulating film 102 composed of SiO2 or the like and the heating elements 75 are connected to the electrode 85 through the lateral part or through-holes of the insulating film on the side of one ends 101 of the heating elements. Therefore, the electrodes 84, 85 do not straddle the recessed parts 87' as a whole and the escape of the heat of the heating elements through the electrodes can be suppressed.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To rapidly perform the supply to a structure for flying a recording material such as a dye or the like to increase a recording speed by providing a porous structure performing the holding and supply of the recording material in the structure for flying the recording material and constituting the same of a group of needle like elements. CONSTITUTION: Fine gaps 92 are formed between needle like elements to constitute a porous structure as a whole. The gaps 92 hold a liquefied dye 22 within a housing part 87 by capillary action and evaporates the liquefied dye 22 in an amt. necessary and sufficient in the time series operation corresponding to one dot of a printer or supplies the same to a liquid surface. The group of the needle like elements 80 is divided into left and right groups and heating elements 75 with a thickness of 1μm are locally provided to the bottom surface of a dye housing part 87 in the region free from the needle like elements between both groups in a rectangular shape. Therefore, the heating elements 75 are provided to a region separate from that of the needle like elements 80 in a mutually separated state to be directly arranged on a spacer 82 and formed on a dye housing part 87A or a spacer 82A by a silicone compd. and a pair of aluminum cells are provided to both ends.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent heat from radiating and dissipating to environment, enhance the heating efficiency of a recording material and contrive to enhance the flying efficiency of the recording material by a method wherein the porous structure for retaining and feeding the recording material and the heater for thermally flying the recording material are provided so as to be separated from each other on the base material provided on a recording material housing part. CONSTITUTION: On the spacer 82 provided on a recording material housing part opposite to a body to be recorded, the porous structure or the group of small columnar bodies 80 and the heater 75 for a thermally flying recording material are provided so as to be separated from each other. Thus, the heat developing from the heater 75 does not substantially fly to the porous structure. Further, since no porous structure is present above the surface of the heater 75, the heat of the heater is directly applied to the heating of dyes and consequently fully utilized. Accordingly, the heating efficiency to dyes by the heater 75 is enhanced so as to enhance the evaporating efficiency of the dyes in order to allow to improve recording performance.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To permit a constant supply of a correct amount of a evaporative liquid dye to an evaporator by providing a valve to supply and suspend an evaporative liquid dye which uses a temperature change in an evaporative liquid dye injector. CONSTITUTION:When an evaporative liquid dye 12' in an evaporative liquid dye injector 16 is supplied to an evaporator 17, if heated by energizing a heating member 20 to a predetermined temperature level, the liquidity of the evaporative liquid dye 12' in or near a small diameter tube portion 16a increases markedly, supplying the dye to a low-resistance evaporator 17 at high speeds. On the other hand, When supply to the evaporator is suspended, heat of the heating member 20 is radiated outside through a radiator 21 and lost from or near the heating dye. Thus the evaporative liquid dye 12' reduces its liquidity markedly or loses the liquidity due to solidification, stopping its journey to the evaporator 17 practically.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To facilitate, in a laser vaporization type printer using vaporizable dyestuff, temperature control for liquefaction and heat retaining of vaporizable dyestuff, to achieve energy conservation, to enhance vaporization speed, and to use a laser beam source for a long time. CONSTITUTION:A heating element 16 for liquefaction and heat retaining of solid vaporizable dyestuff is also used as a photothermic conversion body and a transparent heating element is used as a heating element for liquefaction and heat retaining, whereby the heating element 16 can be disposed even in a vaporizing section 17, and further the section 17 together with a liquid vaporizable dyestuff introducing section 15 can be temperature controlled. And by providing a heat insulating means near the section 17 and by preventing dispersion of laser beam to collect it by means of a lens, a spot formed on the photothermic conversion body is made smaller than a transferred spot. By this method, energy conservation is achieved and thermal efficiency is enhanced.
