Provided is a drive circuit unit that drives a head including a discharge section discharging, based on a drive signal, a liquid from a nozzle in a first direction, the drive circuit unit including: a fan; and a power supply board disposed on a side in a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to the head, supplying power to a drive circuit, and having a first surface on which the fan is mounted, in which a height of a first object, which is a highest of objects mounted on the first surface in a direction orthogonal to the first surface, is equal to or less than a length of the head in a transport direction, and the first surface is a surface parallel to the first direction or a surface oblique to the first direction.
Actuators for fluid delivery systems
An apparatus includes a reservoir and a printhead. The printhead includes a support structure including a deformable portion defining at least a top surface of a pumping chamber, a flow path extending from the reservoir to the pumping chamber to transfer fluid from the reservoir to the pumping chamber, and an actuator disposed on the deformable portion of the support structure. A trench is defined in a top surface of the actuator. Application of a voltage to the actuator causes the actuator to deform along the trench, thereby causing deformation of the deformable portion of the support structure to eject a drop of fluid from the pumping chamber.
