  11. Ink Jet Printing • Continuous • Drop-On-Demand (DOD) • Piezoelectric • Thermal (Bubble) inkjet • Others
  12. Lord Rayleigh – Drop Formation Law (I) d V P λ L • Emerging from an orifice liquid jet breaks-up into droplets. Because of the surface tension: • Droplets have random size • Droplets have random spacing
  13. Lord Rayleigh – Drop Formation Law (II) L = K*ln(d/2α0)V(ρd3/σ)0.5 λ = 4.51d; fs = V/4.51d d V P λ L α0 – the initial disturbance ρ - the density of the fluid σ – the surface tension of the fluid L – break-up length fs– the frequency of spontaneous drop formation λ – wave length
  14. Drop Formation – Ink Jet Basics • Can the drop size be controlled? • Can the spatial spacing of the drops be controlled? • Can the break-up length be controlled? • What would be the drop selection method?
  15. Sweet-type Continuous Ink Jet Deflection Plates Pressure Charge Electrodes Gutter Substrate

  17. Is It So Simple? Change in Viscosity with pressure Density Viscosity
  18. Drop Charging Methods Plate Charging (Sweet) Tunnel Charging (S. Bahl?) Plate Face Charging (S. Bahl?)
  19. Drop Charge Requirements and Limits Drop charge limits: (Rayleigh limit) Q = Sq.Rt.(64π2ε0r3σ); ε – free space permittivity σ – surface tension r – drop radius • Electric field between the • electrodes • Conductive ink • Inductive charging • Charging voltage • Charging electrode shape • Jet break-up parameters
  20. Drop Deflection Deflection Plates Pressure L Charge Electrodes Gutter Substrate • Electrostatic deflection field • Aerodynamic drag force • Neighboring drops repulsion Deflection on paper X = (qE/mV2)L(D-(L/2)) Where q, m, and V are charge, mass and drop velocity. L- length of the deflection plate. D – distance from the plate edge to the substrate.
  21. Density modulation (W. Lloyd & H. Taub) Substrate Substrate Mask Mask Charge electrode Substrate Charge electrode Nozzle Mask V V Drop dispersion on mask/aperture Charge electrode V
