A micro device and manufacturing method thereof. The micro device includes a substrate, an insulation layer, and a solution. The insulation layer is disposed on the substrate to define a channel portion and an extension portion communicated with the channel portion. The solution is location in the channel portion. Part of the solution flows to the extension portion by capillary force between the channel portion and the extension portion.

Micro device and manufacturing method thereof

A method of forming a metal wire by microdispensing a pattern is provided. In the method, a substrate has been treated by SAM is firstly provided. Then, a catalytic agent is microdispensed on the surface of the substrate at places for forming a metal wire, and a catalytic pattern is rendered. Next, a metal wire on the catalytic pattern by an electroless plating process is formed, and a vibration in a period of ink-jet discharging and ink drying during the step of microdispensing is provided. In addition, the vibration is generated by an apparatus which includes forming a metal wire on the catalytic pattern by an electroless plating process, and providing a vibration in a period of ink-jet discharging and ink drying during the step of microdispensing, wherein the vibration is generated by an apparatus which includes a supportive frame and a vibration generation module.

A compound inkjet print head printer has a compound print head module. The compound print head module includes at least two inkjet print heads for providing ink droplets of one color but with different sizes. Since the compound inkjet print head module provides different sizes of ink droplets in a swath, the number of print swaths can be decreased. The compound inkjet print head printer increases a printing speed with high photo quality.

A cleaning device is mounted on either of the sides of an ink-jet printer. The cleaning device uses the power source of a paper delivering motor to transmit power to the cleaning units so that the cleaning units rotate to perform cleaning and scrubbing operations for an ink-jet print head. When the printer performs printing operations, the paper delivering motor is used to deliver paper without causing an interference with the ink-jet print head during the printing operation. When the ink-jet print head needs to be cleaned, an ink carriage moves to be opposed to the cleaning device under the ink carriage, then, the paper delivering motor supplies power to drive an external transmission device set. The external transmission device set drives the cleaning device on the revolving seat to rotate so as to clean the ink-jet print head of the ink carriage.

Cleaning device for ink-jet printers

A microfluidic inkjet control method, by adjusting the driving waveform of the print head, including intercooling waveform and pre-heating waveform, to reduce the satellite droplets produced accompany the main ink droplets during the inkjet printing process. After entering the parameters, the control method uses a print head module with nozzles with adjustable rotating angle and calculates the needed nozzle sequence and appropriate time delay to control the print head module and determine the operation of each nozzle. This achieves the goal of printing different types of elements.
