Thermal printing device and methods for manufacturing the same
TLDR
In this paper, a thermal printing operation is performed by applying a variable voltage or current between the two metal wires in order to heat the microheater to a predetermined temperature, and the wires are disposed on two sides of the heating surface of the body.Abstract:
A thermal printing device includes a substrate, an insulation layer on the substrate, and a plurality of microheaters on the insulation layer. Two adjacent ones of the microheaters are separated by a trench. Each of the microheaters includes a body having a heating surface, and two metal wires disposed on two sides of the heating surface of the body. A thermal printing operation is performed by applying a variable voltage or current between the two metal wires in order to heat the microheater to a predetermined temperature.read more

Method of ejecting fluid using wide heater element
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of ejecting fluid from a printhead nozzle is described, where the heater element is heated to a temperature above the boiling point of the fluid to form a gas bubble that causes ejection of a drop of fluid from the ejection port.
Patent
Printhead having wide heater elements
TL;DR: In this article, a printhead is provided with corresponding nozzles, chambers and heaters, each of which has a heater element and electrodes connecting current from a power source to the heater elements to heat, and form gas bubbles in, liquid within the chambers which causes ejection of the liquid from the nozzle.
