Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A piezoelectric actuator includes upper and lower electrodes providing driving voltages and a piezoelectric film formed between the upper and lower electrodes and providing a driving force to ink in a plurality of pressure chambers formed on an inkjet print head, respectively. The piezoelectric film may include a plurality of basin parts individually formed on respective tops of the plurality of pressure chambers and a large-area part connected to the plurality of basin parts, respectively, at one end of the plurality of basin parts and formed as a single body. The large-area part may include a groove formed on an extended line of a basin line partitioning the basin parts.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A piezoelectric actuator comprising: upper electrodes, having a plurality of respective connection parts, and lower electrodes providing driving voltages, wherein each of the plurality of connection parts have a larger width than those of other parts of the upper electrodes, and the plurality of connection parts are disposed in different locations of the upper electrodes in a longitudinal direction; a piezoelectric film formed between the upper and lo…
