Printhead
A printhead includes a number of inkjet slivers molded into a moldable substrate. The overmolded inkjet slivers form at least one die. The printhead also includes a number of wire bonds electrically coupling the inkjet slivers to a side connector. The side connector electrically couples the inkjet slivers to a controller of a printing device.
Manufacturing method of liquid supply component
A manufacturing method of a liquid supply component in which a liquid supply path is formed between a first constituent component and a second constituent component that are joined with molten resin. The method includes a first step of preparing these constituent components, a second step of causing the constituent components to face each other and forming an orifice portion and a reservoir portion between a mold and a surface of either of the constituent components, and a third step of pouring the molten resin between the constituent components so that it flows into the reservoir portion through the orifice portion.
Fluid flow structure forming method
A method for forming a fluid flow structure may include positioning rows of micro devices in a mold, wherein each of the micro devices comprising a chamber layer in which an ejection chamber is formed and an orifice layer over the chamber layer in which an orifice is formed. The method may further include molding an amorphous body to encapsulate the rows of the micro devices such that the amorphous body forms fluid channels such that each of the rows is fluidically coupled to a different one of the fluid channels.
Fluid dispenser
A fluid dispenser may include fluid dispensing dies in an end-to-end staggered arrangement, a non-fluid dispensing die electronic device and a molding covering the fluid dispensing dies and the electronic device.
PRINT HEAD INTERPOSERS
In example implementations, a method is provided, which may include providing a carrier, applying a thermal release tape over the carrier, attaching a print head die, a drive integrated circuit (IC) and an interposer on the thermal release tape, wherein the print head die comprises ink feed holes formed in a back surface of the print head die, encapsulating the print head die, the drive IC and the interposer with an epoxy molded compound (EMC), removing the carrier and the thermal release tape, and forming a slot over an area of the EMC that covers the ink feed holes, wherein the ink feed holes are to be fluidically coupled to the slot.
Method of manufacturing liquid supply unit
A method of manufacturing a liquid supply unit includes a first molding step and a second molding step. In a first molding step, a resin is injected into different positions inside a mold assembly and a first member having a first contact portion, a second member having a second contact portion and an intermediate passage member having a passage structure to connect the first contact portion to the second contact portion are molded. In a second molding step, the mold assembly is disassembled, a die slide mold disposed inside the mold assembly is moved for positioning the members. Then, the mold assembly is clamped again and a resin is injected into the mold assembly. The first contact portion and the second contact portion are respectively held on the same surfaces inside the mold assembly during a period from the first molding step to completion of the second molding step.
Fluid ejection device including integrated circuit
Examples include a fluid ejection device comprising a molded panel, an ejection die molded in the molded panel, and an integrated circuit molded in the molded panel. The ejection die comprises ejection nozzles to selectively dispense printing material. The integrated circuit receives nozzle data and controls the selective dispensation of printing material by the ejection nozzles based at least in part on the nozzle data. The molded panel has a fluid communication channel formed therethrough and fluidly connected to the ejection die.
MOLDED PRINTHEAD
In some examples, a print bar fabrication method comprises placing printhead dies face down on a carrier, placing a printed circuit board on the carrier, wire bonding each printhead die of the printhead dies to the printed circuit board, and overmolding the printhead dies and the printed circuit board on the carrier, including fully encapsulating the wire bonds.
