Epson Micro Piezo Technology

The most advanced inkjet print head technology

Epson introduced its rst printer that used piezoelectric technology for its print heads in October 1984: the Epson SQ-2000

In 1990 developed an advanced piezoelectric inkjet head for future generations of Epson printers

Micro Piezo print head that was rst used in the Epson Stylus 800 which was launched in March 1993

How does an Epson Micro Piezo print head work?

Stage 1:An electrical pulse is applied to the piezoelectric element behind each nozzle. This causes the element to bend,creating a negative pressure that draws ink from the main ink chamber into the ring chamber.

Stage 2:The electrical charge is altered, causing the piezoelectric element to rapidly push in the opposite direction, propelling the ink droplet out.

Epsons Variable Sized Dot Technology (VSDT)

Epsons Micro Piezo print head technology allows extremely accurate control over the size of ink droplets that are ejected from the print head nozzles.

This is done by varying the electrical charge given to the piezoelectric elements.

This enables Epsons printers to achieve variable sized ink droplets as small as 1.5 picoliters - This is what Epson calls Variable Size Droplet Technology (VSDT).

By capitalizing on its semiconductor expertise, Epson reengineered its world-renowned Micro PiezoTM inkjet print head in 2008, making it capable of producing 360 dots per inch

This is the industrys highest density for a print head based on piezoelectric technology to date.

What is QMEMS?

QMEMS is a combination of Quartz, a crystal material with excellent characteristics such as high stability and high precision, and MEMS To a semiconductor MEMS material, we apply precision microprocessing based on quartz material to create a quartz device that we call QMEMS It supports a lot of functions such as mechanicals,electronics,optical and chemicals and oers very much adding values in the form of high accuracy and high stability

Sub-miniature tuning-fork crystal units & sub-miniature real-time clock modules

3-D photolithographic processing of crystal chips Miniaturizing crystal chips with a conventional structure reduces the area of the electrodes (indicated in red). Fabricating the chips with an H-groove structure provides a larger electrode area and raises electrolytic eciency This design enables miniaturized crystal with CI values as low as those on ordinary-sized crystals

HFF crystal unit / HFF crystal oscillator

In order to increase the frequency of oscillators, it is necessary to make the chip thinner, but conventional processing methods imposed limitations on producing thin chips

A high-frequency fundamental was enabled by photolithographically processing only the oscillating portion of the chip so as to form an extremely thin inverted-mesa structure having a thickness of only several microns.

Advantage of high frequency oscillation at the fundamental frequency

High-frequency fundamental oscillation helps stabilize high-speed, high-volume data transmissions because nearby high-frequency components can be suppressed.

SAW Filter
SAW Filters Fundamentals SAW device consists of two transducers with interdigital transducers(IDT) of thin metal electrodes deposited on a piezoelectric substrate such as quartz or lithiun tantalite. One of these acts as the device input and converts signal voltage variations into mechanical surface acoustic waves. The other IDT is used as an output receiver to convert mechanical SAW vibrations back into output voltages.

Pressure sensor is a sensing device that is used to various kinds of pressure measurement for industrial use Operating Principle

When stress is applied to a twin tuning fork quartz oscillator, its resonance frequency becomes almost linear By using this property, the twin tuning fork quartz oscillator in exure vibration mode (highly sensitive to stress) can be used as a pressure -sensitive device
