A liquid discharge head is provided in which heat of a heat sink is less apt to transfer to a head body. The liquid discharge head includes a head body 2a having a discharge hole for discharging a liquid therethrough, a driver IC 93 configured to control driving of the head body 2a, a casing 91 which is disposed on the head body 2a and has openings 91a and 91b on a side surface of the casing, and a heat sink 90 which is disposed on the openings 91a and 91b of the casing 91 and configured to dissipate heat generated in the driver IC 93, and a thermal insulation part 91e disposed between the heat sink 90 and the head body 2a. This makes it possible to reduce the likelihood that the heat of the heat sink 91e transfers to the head body 2a.

In some examples, a fluid dispensing device component includes a plurality of fluidic dies each comprising a memory, a plurality of control inputs to provide respective control information to respective fluidic dies of the plurality of fluidic dies, and a data bus connected to the plurality of fluidic dies, the data bus to provide data of the memories of the plurality of fluidic dies to an output of the fluid dispensing device component.

Systems and techniques for depositing organic material on a substrate are provided, in which one or more shield gas flows prevents contamination of the substrate by the chamber ambient. Thus, multiple layers of the same or different materials may be deposited in a single deposition chamber, without the need for movement between different deposition chambers, and with reduced chance of cross-contamination between layers.

A multi-chip module (MCM) assembly comprising: a graphite substrate having a front surface and a back surface and comprising a plurality of silicon chips mounted on the front surface, a Printed Wiring Board (PWB) attached to the graphite substrate and provided with openings surrounding outer profiles of the silicon chips, the graphite substrate comprises one or more ink channels on the back surface and one or more ink feeding slots passing through the graphite substrate and being in fluidic communication with the respective one or more ink channels, so that each of the silicon chips can be fed with one or more different types of inks, the MCM assembly further comprises a graphite cover plate configured to cover the one or more ink channels of the graphite substrate.

The control section sets, as a first flow rate, a flow rate of the liquid, which is circulated by the circulating mechanism, per unit time, during an ejection operation of ejecting the liquid from the liquid ejecting head. The control section sets, as a second flow rate greater than the first flow rate, a flow rate of the liquid, which is circulated by the circulating mechanism, per unit time, during a recovery operation of recovering a state of the liquid ejecting head.

A liquid ejecting head includes: a plurality of individual flow channels provided with nozzles; a common supply flow channel through which a liquid is supplied to the plurality of individual flow channels; a common discharge flow channel through which the liquid is discharged from the plurality of individual flow channels; and a bypass flow channel that bypasses the plurality of individual flow channels and causes the common supply flow channel and the common discharge flow channel to communicate with each other. A combined flow channel resistance of the bypass flow channel and the plurality of individual flow channels is greater than a flow channel resistance of the common supply flow channel and is greater than a flow channel resistance of the common discharge flow channel.

There is provided a liquid discharge apparatus including: a conveyer; head chips; a circulation channel; and a controller. Each head chip includes a manifold; a nozzle group, and actuators. Each head chip is configured to execute discharge drive and non-discharge vibration drive. The head chips include: an end head chip; a facing head chip facing the recording medium; and a non-facing head chip not facing the recording medium. The controller is configured to make at least one of a circulation flowing amount of a liquid in the circulation channel in the facing head chip and a frequency of the non-discharge vibration drive by an actuator included in the actuators in the facing head chip larger than those of the non-facing head chip.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a first liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid to an ejection direction, a sub-carriage that holds the first liquid ejecting head, and a carriage that holds the sub-carriage. The sub-carriage includes: a first member that is thermally conductive and holds the first liquid ejecting head; and a heating section provided in the first member. The first liquid ejecting head includes a first side wall facing the first member. The first member is located between the heating section and the first side wall when viewed in the ejection direction.
