Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a multi-nozzle ink jet head having a plurality of nozzles, cross talk between adjacent elements is suppressed. The head has the nozzles (), pressure chambers (), and bimorph drivers. The bimorph drivers have piezos () formed on a diaphragm (). The diaphragm () has linear parts (-) that convert the generated force from the piezos () into displacement, and non-linear parts (-) that are provided between the linear parts (-) and diaphragm fixing parts. Due to the non-linear parts (-), transmission of strain energy to the fixing parts is suppressed, and hence cross talk is suppressed.
