A pump includes an ink pressurizing chamber, an inlet port and an outlet
port communicating with the chamber, a first valve member provided near
the inlet port, a second valve member provided near the outlet port, a
pressure adjustment channel communicating with the chamber, an electrode
provided on a wall surface forming the channel, a driver IC which applies
a voltage to the electrode, an insulating film provided on a surface of
the electrode and in which when the voltage is applied to the electrode a
wetting angle of ink on a surface of the insulating film is greater than
that when no voltage is applied to the electrode, and a common electrode
always in contact with ink in the chamber and held at a ground potential.
Accordingly, a pump having a simple structure without any movable parts
and with a low noise and less energy consumption can be provided.
