阅读说明：本技术 液滴沉积方法和装置 (Droplet deposition method and apparatus ) 是由 尼古拉斯·马克·杰克逊 安格斯·康蒂 于 2018-06-06 设计创作，主要内容包括：提供了一种利用液滴沉积头将液滴沉积到介质上的方法。方法中使用的头包括：由穿插壁分隔的流体腔的阵列,每个流体腔与用于释放流体液滴的孔连通,并且每个壁隔开两个相邻腔。每个壁是可致动的,使得响应于第一电压,其将变形以减小一个腔的体积并增大另一个腔的体积,并且响应于第二电压,其将变形以对其相邻腔的体积产生相反的影响。方法包括以下步骤：接收输入数据；基于该输入数据,将阵列内的所有腔指定为发射腔或非发射腔,以产生由一个或更多个连续非发射腔的带隔开的一个或更多个连续发射腔的带；致动腔中某些腔的壁,使得：对于每个非发射腔,一个壁静止而另一个壁移动,或者壁以相同的方向移动,或者它们保持静止；并且对于每个发射腔,壁以相反的方向移动；这种致动导致每个发射腔释放至少一个液滴,所产生的液滴形成布置在介质上的线上的流体主体,这些流体主体在线上被非发射腔带中每个带的相应间隙分开,每个该间隙的尺寸通常对应于相应的非发射腔带的尺寸。在致动步骤中致动所述发射腔的壁使得如果以这种方式仅致动每个发射腔的两个壁中的一个壁,则不会从该发射腔喷射液滴。还提供了液滴沉积装置、液滴沉积头和计算机程序产品。(A method of depositing droplets onto a medium using a droplet deposition head is provided. The head used in the method comprises: an array of fluid chambers separated by intervening walls, each fluid chamber communicating with an aperture for releasing a droplet of fluid, and each wall separating two adjacent chambers. Each wall is actuatable such that in response to a first voltage it will deform to decrease the volume of one cavity and increase the volume of the other cavity, and in response to a second voltage it will deform to have an opposite effect on the volume of its adjacent cavity. The method comprises the following steps: receiving input data; designating all of the cavities within the array as firing cavities or non-firing cavities based on the input data to produce one or more bands of consecutive firing cavities separated by one or more bands of consecutive non-firing cavities; actuating the walls of some of the cavities such that: for each non-firing chamber, one wall is stationary while the other wall moves, or the walls move in the same direction, or they remain stationary; and for each emission chamber, the walls move in opposite directions; this actuation causes each firing chamber to release at least one droplet, the droplets produced forming bodies of fluid disposed on a line on the medium, the bodies of fluid being separated on the line by a respective gap for each of the bands of non-firing chambers, the size of each such gap generally corresponding to the size of the respective band of non-firing chambers. The walls of the firing chambers are actuated in the actuation step so that if only one of the two walls of each firing chamber is actuated in this manner, no droplet is ejected from that firing chamber. Droplet deposition apparatus, droplet deposition heads and computer program products are also provided.)
