2. Description of the Related Art Various inkjet head structures have been proposed, but the one currently in practical use is a method in which pressure is generated by bubbles generated by evaporation of the ink by heat generation from a heating element within the ink (Figure 4). ) and a method in which a piezoelectric element such as a piezo is attached to a substrate and the pressure inside the ink is changed by displacing the substrate by utilizing the deformation of the piezoelectric element (FIG. 5).

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an inkjet head using a heating element method. A heating element 402 is formed on a substrate 401, and a substrate (nozzle plate) having ink ejection holes is used.
403 is attached to the substrate 401. As described above, this type of inkjet head is of a type in which the ink is boiled and bubbles are generated by energizing the heating element 402, thereby changing the pressure inside the inkjet head and ejecting the ink 404 from the nozzle 405.

[0005] Piezoelectric elements are obtained by forming ceramics such as PZT by firing and cutting them into element shapes.By applying piezoelectricity to the thus obtained piezoelectric element 502, the pressure inside the inkjet head is reduced.

[0007] In the heat generating type, the heat generating element serving as the driving body can be formed by a so-called thin film process, so it is easy to increase the density of the driving element.
The disadvantage is that the element is damaged by rapid cooling, and the heating element is damaged by the impact when the bubbles disappear in the ink, resulting in a short lifespan of the head itself.

On the other hand, the piezoelectric element type has a long head life because there is no damage as mentioned above, contrary to the heat generation method, but as can be seen from the process of cutting out the piezoelectric element from a ceramic block and pasting it on, the driving element The structure makes it difficult to increase density.

Furthermore, in both structures, ink droplets are ejected only forward, and it is not possible to make ink droplets fly at an angle (obliquely) with respect to the head surface. For this reason, in order to perform high-speed line printing, a line head having as many inkjet heads as the number of printed areas is required. This increases the number of heads, leading to increased costs.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve these problems, and it is possible to increase the density of the driving element, have a long life, widen the printing range by changing the flight angle of the ink droplets, and reduce the number of inkjet jets. The goal is to provide an inkjet head that can print at high speed with a limited number of heads.
