Disclosed is a piezoelectric ink jet printer head in which a chamber and
an ink storage are integrally formed. A process for manufacturing the ink
jet printer head is also disclosed. The ink jet printer head formed by
laminating a plurality of plates includes: a) an actuator portion being
composed of upper and lower electrodes, a piezoelectric plate inserted
between the upper and lower electrodes, a protection layer placed on the
upper electrode, and a resilient plate disposed beneath the lower
electrode; b) an ink passage portion composed of a spacer disposed
beneath the resilient plate and forming a side portion of a chamber, a
channel plate disposed beneath the spacer, the channel plate forming an
ink passage in one side of the chamber and simultaneously expanding the
chamber, and a nozzle plate disposed beneath the channel plate, the
nozzle plate forming the lower side of the chamber and having a nozzle
communicating with the chamber; and c) an ink-supplying portion formed by
a through-hole reaching the ink passage of the channel plate through the
actuator portion and the spacer.
