Abstract: A liquid jet head includes an actuator substrate on which a plurality of grooves is arranged, and a nozzle plate having nozzle holes communicated with the grooves. Drive electrodes extend in the longitudinal direction along both side surfaces of a wall portion of the grooves. An insulating film is disposed between the wall portion and the longitudinal end portions of the drive electrodes so that only the mid-portion of the drive elecrodes directly contacts the side surfaces of the wall portion. When a voltage is applied to the drive electrodes, only the region of the wall portion in the vicinity of the nozzle holes is actuated to eject liquid from the nozzle holes.

Abstract: A device includes a drive portion for driving a pressure generating element and controlling a state of driving the element. The drive portion includes a first drive section for causing a first current to flow to drive the element, and a second drive section for causing a second current smaller than the first current to flow to drive the element. The state of driving the element includes a first state and a second state. The second drive section causes the second current to flow in a direction in which the element is switched from the first state to the second state at a timing that is faster by a predetermined time determined in advance with respect to a timing at which the first drive section causes the first current to flow for switching the state of driving the element from the first state to the second state.

Abstract: A head chip for a liquid jet head of a recording apparatus has liquid jet channels arranged in a longitudinal direction of the head chip, and nozzle holes that communicate with the liquid jet channels. A flow path plate covers the liquid jet channels and has first and second circulation paths that extend in the longitudinal direction of the head chip and communicate with the liquid jet channels to supply liquid thereto. First and second inflow ports are provided at opposite longitudinal ends of the head chip for inflowing liquid into the first and second circulation paths, respectively, so that liquid flows through the first and second circulation paths in opposite directions while being supplied to the liquid jet channels. The sum of pressures of liquid supplied to each liquid jet channel from the first and second circulation paths is uniform throughout the longitudinal direction of the head chip so that high image quality is realized.
